Each state requires all contractors that are performing work to have an appropriate contractors license. Contractors licenses are designed to protect the public from faulty work or unqualified contractors, as well as help enforce safety and building codes. Generally, states require that a contractor take and pass an exam to receive a contractors license. Many states also require proof of job experience relating to the work involved before issuing a contractors license. The penalty for working without a contractors license is usually a fine.
There are various services available that will help you receive their contractors license, as well as prepare appropriately for exams, and ensure you meet other requirements. When researching these services, be sure to shop around as they will often offer different prices and offer different levels of support
