What type of work is considered Home Improvement?

Home improvement specifically refers to work that is done to enhance, repair, or remodel existing residential properties. This can include a wide range of activities such as renovations, upgrades, repairs, and general maintenance of single-family homes, multi-family homes, and other types of residential buildings. The focus is on improving the living space or functionality of a residence rather than constructing new buildings or properties.

In this context, the choice that involves repairing and remodeling residential property directly aligns with the definition of home improvement. Such work typically requires knowledge of construction techniques, building codes, and the specific needs of homeowners, all of which fall under the purview of home improvement regulations and licensing requirements.

On the other hand, construction of commercial properties, sale of new homes, and site preparation for new constructions pertain to activities outside the scope of home improvement. These tasks usually involve different licensing, regulations, and standards that apply to commercial work or new building projects rather than improvements made to existing residential structures.
