Residential plumbing work falls under Arizona Registrar of Contractors classifications such as R-37, R-37R and CR-37. A general residential (B) contractor must subcontract plumbing, and new electrical circuits need an electrical classification such as R-11.
Hiring a licensed residential contractor can make an owner-occupant eligible for the ROC Residential Contractors’ Recovery Fund, up to $30,000 per residence. Payment isn’t guaranteed and strict steps apply.
