Licensed contractors offer the consumer guarantees, we are qualified to perform an installation according to a certified design, the regulation and the site conditions, this service is backed by a the minimum of a 1 year warranty.
Our fees support the board, and staff, we also fund protection for the consumer who may have a claim against a fellow contractor who was unable to fulfill the expectations of their contract.

The Fast track Regulatory changes recieved many comments, which to my knowledge have not addressed.
.As a license holder I expect the Board to take these concerns seriously.

There is no basis for a unlicensed individual to certify an installation or vouch for the performance of a contractor seeking licensure, unless their ministerial duty as a code official allows them to act on behalf of the Commissioner of Health. The language "authorized VDH employee" should be struck from the regulation.
Furthermore the DPOR and VDH must arrive at a solution allowing VDH staff to approve the work of unlicensed contractors. No building inspector would knowingly approve work completed by an unlicensed contractor.
We are appealing for relief, when can we expect our boards to resolve these issue?
