Nothing in this article shall be construed to require any individual to hold a license before doing any maintenance, repair or alteration of existing facilities on such person's own property or residence as long as such property or residence is not appurtenant to another residence.

(d)

Nothing in this article shall be construed to require any firm or corporation or its regular employees to be required to hold a license before doing maintenance or repair of existing facilities on the property owned or leased by any such firm or corporation.
