Reply to comment by kermelie in Has anyone filed complaint with MHIC on a licensed contractor by Hungryhungryhippos2

MHIC exists for people who were ripped off, not for people who are dissatisfied the quality of work.

If the contractor took the down payment and did no work, MHIC. If the contractor broke a law, like taking greater than 1/3 down, MHIC.

Pretty limited circumstances in which MHIC will compensate a homeowner or sanction a licensed contractor.

MHIC does cover quality of work, I know because I received a claim based off the scope of MHIC poor workmanship clause.

You must have had a very well documented and clear case, with real money at stake? Permits not pulled, Insurance invalid/not maintained, etc?

I just had a picture of poor work and an invoice for someone to go back and fix poor work. It’s a judge, so it’s not a hard standard. You just convince one person. If he didn’t have insurance he wouldn’t have a license. Permits were pulled as well but the judge didn’t really ask for that because it probably wasn’t relevant to the fact he didn’t do a good job.

Well then maybe I need to educate myself better on this.
