What are the potential consequences for a licensed contractor who operates without a valid license in Maryland?

Increased customer trust.
Legal fines and penalties.
Enhanced reputation among peers.
Immediate job offers from clients.

The correct answer is: Legal fines and penalties.

Operating without a valid license in Maryland can lead to serious legal repercussions for a contractor. This includes substantial fines and potential penalties issued by state regulatory agencies. The state enforces licensing laws to protect consumers and ensure that contractors meet certain standards of competence and professionalism. In addition to fines, unlicensed contractors may face other consequences, such as legal action from clients who feel wronged or who are unhappy with the quality of workmanship. Without the protection of a license, clients may have limited recourse in disputes, which can further complicate a contractor's situation. The other options mentioned do not accurately reflect the realities of operating without a valid license. Increased customer trust, enhanced reputation among peers, and immediate job offers are unlikely outcomes, as clients generally prefer to hire licensed professionals to ensure quality and compliance with industry standards.
