Which of the following roles would NOT require a DCA license?

  1. A consultant giving design advice

  2. A contractor performing renovations

  3. A salesperson negotiating contracts

  4. A person canvassing for contracts

The correct answer is: A consultant giving design advice

A consultant giving design advice typically does not engage in the physical construction or renovation activities that would require a Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) license. Their role is more focused on providing expert advice and guidance related to design, rather than executing contracts or performing work that alters properties. In contrast, contractors performing renovations, salespeople negotiating contracts, and individuals canvassing for contracts are all involved in aspects of home improvement that necessitate a DCA license to ensure compliance with local regulations and consumer protection laws. This distinction emphasizes that while design consultants can offer valuable services, they are not directly responsible for the implementation of construction work or legal contract negotiations that a licensed contractor or salesperson would handle.
