New Mexico licensing rules for flooring contractors
This section is general information, not legal advice. It summarizes official sources as of October 7, 2026; check the current text of each rule before relying on it.
New Mexico draws a dollar line for small jobs. Under 14.6.2.8 NMAC (Construction Industries Division rule, effective 2000, as of 2026), a handyman is an individual who works on one project at a time and whose projects, singly or together, do not exceed $7,200 in compensation a year, the work being casual, minor or inconsequential. The work cannot be part of a larger operation, the individual cannot advertise as a contractor, and a declaration must be filed with the division every year. Electrical, plumbing and gas fitting work is outside the handyman rule.
Licensed contractors post security. 14.6.3.8 NMAC (amended January 13, 2023) requires a $10,000 bond from a corporate surety at initial licensure and at each renewal, kept in force for the whole license period. Claims against it must be made within two years after final inspection or the certificate of occupancy, whichever comes first.
The classification rule names no flooring specialty. 14.6.6.9 NMAC (2022) says the GB-2 residential classification includes all work described by the GS specialty classifications when it is limited to residential construction, and that any classification not listed and regulated by the division is issued a GS-29, decided case by case.
