In Maryland, Home Improvement work includes alteration, remodeling, repair or replacement of a building or part of a building used as a residence. Home improvement also includes work done on individual condominium units. Home improvement does not include work done on commonly owned areas of condominiums or buildings that contain four or more single-family units.

The Maryland Home Improvement Commission licenses and regulates home improvement contractors and salespersons. 

You can also refer to the PSI Candidate Information Bulletin here for more information on testing policies.

All Maryland HIC license applicants are still required to meet other state licensing regulations in order to obtain a license. Applicants who pass the exam shall apply for licensure within two years or the score expires and the exam must be re-taken.
