Each program sets its own contractor rules. Check the official program page for exact requirements.

Documents you will likely need

  • Proof you own and live in the home (deed, recent mortgage statement, or property tax bill).

  • A written estimate from a licensed contractor for the work (many programs require this to apply).
  • A recent utility bill for the home (energy and weatherization programs use it to confirm service and usage).
