Licensed Contractors in Connecticut
Connecticut runs every contractor credential through one unified state system (eLicense, published daily as open data). There is no statewide "general contractor" license — residential remodelers register as Home Improvement Contractors (about 21,200 active), new-home builders and large commercial firms register separately, and electricians, plumbers, HVAC, fire-protection, pool, and demolition contractors each hold a dedicated DCP trade license. About 41,000 active contractors statewide.
