Under Michigan law, all contractors offering to do work that totals $600 or more in labor and materials must be licensed by the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA). A Residential Builders license allows a contractor to build a complete structure and do maintenance or alteration (remodeling) work. A Maintenance and Alteration license indicates that the holder has met the requirements for their trade.
