I’m doing some work on a house I bought and I hired some people to do some clean up work worth about a $1000.00 and my neighbor said that anything over $500.00 in the state of California needs to be a license contractor.
Can I get in troble for this?

how do u go about getting a license and how old do you have to be in michigan?

I am starting a business designing home automation systems in Arizona. I plan on hiring a contractor to do the installation. Do I need a contractor’s license myself?

im a general contractor and i want to add my son to my license , is there a way to do that , and if so how can it be done .

I always hear about people working under other people’s contractor’s license. I live in California, and am wondering how this works? I am thinking about getting my contractor’s license, and then my husband would work under that license. Is that legal?

I was wondering if someone could help me, if you hire a contractor to renovate a building, who is responsible for paying the sub-contractors? the contractor or the owner who hired the contractor? on top of that is there any legel way that the owner can be held accountible to the sub-contractors instead of the general contractor? please help!!

To pay good contractors to do it I should say. Anybody have any examples? I am thinking of buying a junky 1 story duplex house that’s close to a school to tear it down and build this type of structure and sell both units. Or maybe sell one and rent the other.

I wouldn’t do it right away. I’m just thinking about the process. Thanks.

Can someone make sense of this for me? I have had to cancle multiple appointments with contractors for work we want done on our house, just because my wife cant be there for there sales pitch, for one reason or another. And the funny thing is - she has told the contractors on the phone, herself, she doesnt care to be there and that the decision for home improvements is mine. It is beyond incoveinent and just doesnt make sense.

I don’t know much about building but would like to know what are my options? What questions should I ask contractors? What is the cheapest? What is the best way to build?

I own an agency and I get gigs for independent contractors. Clients would pay the agency using my Tax ID and I would then pay out the independent contractor. Keep in mind I get a percentage amount of the gig that I get for the independent contractor. How would I claim the independent contractor on my income taxes because our clients send a 1099 to my Tax ID and not the independent contractor? Would the independent contractor be an expense for my business or how would I claim them?
