How siding replacement costs vary in Massachusetts

State-specific code or insurance rule: Massachusetts requires both a Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) registration AND a Construction Supervisor License (CSL) — the HIC registration is for the contracting business entity while the CSL is the personal credential for the individual responsible for code compliance, with both required on every residential re-side and the CSL holder personally liable for envelope code violations under 780 CMR R107.
