Notes
Rhode Island requires contractors to be registered with the Department of Labor and Training. While Rhode Island does not have a separate statewide journeyman carpenter license distinct from contractor registration, all construction contractors must register. The DLT also oversees apprenticeship programs. Verify current individual tradesperson licensing requirements with the Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training.
