Minnesota homeowner FAQ
How do I check a contractor's license in Minnesota?
Use the DLI license and registration lookup. It shows license status and expiration date.
What is the Minnesota Contractor Recovery Fund?
It is a state fund, paid for by fees from licensed residential contractors, that can help homeowners who suffer losses from a licensed contractor. It does not cover unlicensed contractors.
How do I keep pipes from freezing in Minnesota?
Insulate pipes along exterior walls and in crawl spaces, and keep the heat on when you travel. Have a plumber add heat tape where needed.
When should I service my furnace?
Schedule furnace service in late summer or early fall, before the first cold snap. A breakdown in January can be an emergency.
How can I prevent ice dams?
Good attic insulation and ventilation are the best defense. Roofers can also install ice and water shield along the eaves.
