Home Services Contractor in Oregon

The Home Services Contractor (RHSC) license covers Oregon contractors who provide a broad range of routine home maintenance and service work on residential properties. There are currently 45 active RHSC licenses in Oregon.

RHSC-licensed contractors typically perform recurring maintenance services - gutter cleaning, window washing, pressure washing, minor appliance installation, lawn care, and similar non-structural home services. The RHSC license is designed for service-oriented businesses that perform work in and around homes but do not perform construction, renovation, or trade work requiring structural, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical permits.

Home Services Contractors are one of the CCB license categories exempt from continuing education requirements. This reflects the lower regulatory complexity of the work scope compared to construction or specialty trade licenses. However, RHSC licensees must still maintain a CCB surety bond and liability insurance, and are subject to the CCB's complaint and mediation process.

For homeowners hiring recurring maintenance services, verifying an RHSC license takes the same 30 seconds as any other CCB check. Confirm the license is Active and that the bond and insurance are current before authorizing any worker access to your property.
