Should a plumber be licensed and certified to install gas lines?

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

Specializing in Fiberglass and Concrete Swimming Pool Construction. We provide a comprehensive level of Design, Build Services including all aspects of Outdoor Living needs. Licensed General Contractor in both North & South Carolina. In North Carolina, we service primarily Brunswick, New Hanover, Pender & Onslow Counties. In South Carolina we primarily service Horry & Georgetown Counties. We do occasionally travel outside these areas for high end Residential and Commercial Pool Projects. Please Note: We DO NOT offer installation of above ground OR vinyl liner swimming pools.

"Our pool was installed by Carolina Creations in the fall of 2018 during the building of our new house in southeastern NC. The pool was finished exactly as we envisioned and has been a wonderful addition to our new home. So glad we added 3 jets to the 6 foot end - exactly the water sounds that I wanted. We also added automation to the system and we can now control the jets, lights, filter and heater from our phones. Very cool and much easier than going back and forth to the side of the house to the control box. We have also been pleased with the Hayward Tech Support line. The service tech quickly understood our heater problem and was able to talk us through the fix within minutes. Art Miller and Eric were there to answer every question we had, and they know their products inside out. For us first time pool owners, pool computers can be complicated, and it is reassuring to know that Carolina Creations supports their customers before, during and after the installation. Highly recommend."
