Before you sign: Minnesota

Minnesota requires a residential building contractor or residential remodeler license from the Department of Labor and Industry for anyone who contracts directly with a homeowner for work in more than one special skill, which a kitchen remodel usually is. A contractor with under $15,000 a year in residential receipts may work under a certificate of exemption instead.
