Home Improvement Law
Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act (HICPA)
The Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act (HICPA) is a law that protects consumers who hire home improvement contractors. The law requires contractors to be licensed and insured, and it prohibits them from engaging in certain deceptive or unfair practices.
Some of the deceptive or unfair practices that are prohibited under HICPA include:
Making false or misleading statements about the contractor's qualifications or experience.
Charging excessive or unreasonable prices.
Failing to complete the work as promised.
Using shoddy materials or workmanship.
Abandoning the job without completing it.
