New York licensing & market context
New York City requires a Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) license through the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection for residential work over $200. Westchester, Suffolk, and Nassau counties have separate licensing regimes. Most commercial buildings require a Certificate of Insurance with the building owner named as additional insured before crews can enter. Floor Pro Flow stores per-customer notes for COI requirements so they trigger as part of pre-job prep.
