Should plumbers be certified or licensed?

<div>Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: <ul><li>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</li><li>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</li><li>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</li><li>Paying to advertise their services</li><li>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi</li></ul> Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.</div>

<div>There are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-hiring-quality-handyman-service.htm">questions or things to know before hiring a handyman</a> to do any work in your home.<ul><li>What kind of work do they do?</li><li>Do they have proper licensing?</li><li>Do they charge for estimates?</li><li>Is the estimate for both labor and materials?</li><li>Do they provide references?</li><li>Do you provide a guarantee?</li><li>When can you start and finish the job?</li><li>Do you have any before and after photos of your work?</li><li>How long have you been doing this kind of work?</li><li>Do you clean up and dispose of waste when the job is finished?</li></ul></div>
