Advice For Contractors

If you are not a licensed contractor, and you are working as if you are licensed, you stand a strong chance of being caught and severely disciplined. Indeed, if you are an unlicensed contractor, and you do work for an owner, the owner can wait until you finish the project, and require you to pay back everything that you received from the owner, even though you did the work correctly. That is because what you did was illegal.

Make sure that everything that you do is in writing so that there is no dispute as to what you are supposed to do or not do.

Visit trade shows. Typically, they are free and have a great deal of information.

If the contractor is licensed in another trade, say D06 concrete, and is performing work as a carpenter, say termite repair work, is this the same as being unlicensed in the view of the law? or is this some other category in the view of the law?
