Starting, stopping and starting again is part of many projects so the ‘suspense’ of being a licensed contractor is always intense. You can’t get a license ‘wholesale’, especially if you don’t need one. Unfortunately, another contractor learns what he thought was his isn’t… Q: I am a licensed contractor and I was recently going to start…
Why the ‘buddy’ system doesn’t work for contractor’s licensing! Another ‘unlicensed’ inquiry that includes a ‘kickback’ in the answer… Q: For many years I have been doing unlicensed construction, most of the work under $500. I have a corporation already set up. I have an opportunity to take a large home improvement contract but it would…
Let’s play ‘match game’! We’ll take ‘multiple choice’ in answering this contractor. Worker’s compensation insurance is just the first step for those previously ‘exempt’ from the need. Taking work outside CA often requires a little ‘two step’ to cross the ‘gaap’ in taking advantage of reciprocity while getting a NV license application right ‘on the money’……

Accurate, up-to-date documents are essential to ‘win’ bids or work, so you already know what happens when you take your eye off the ‘prize’, while we all learn a ‘secret’ about replacing an…
Like a broken ‘pinata’ after you’ve spilled the candy some time has to pass before you can take another ‘waiver’ and expect candy again. Another contractor’s ‘sole’ purpose is to continue working after his company quits! I also help an Oregon contractor make a good landing in taking a ‘leap of faith’… Q: My company has…
A contractor ‘stepping up to the plate’ for his first application ‘triples’ a question down the right line in seeking expert advice. Another interested in getting back to work discovers there is an extra step or two because of his ‘inactivity’. Like a rerun of Johnny Carson’s rerun of The Tonight Show’s fortune teller act Karnak-The-Great,…
New ‘recycled’ rules are being written and contractors are needed to help build them. To paraphrase Jagger, ‘while you can’t always get what you want, sometimes you can get what you need’ as a Glazer learns.
