Nj License - 1 Day Job

AmeliaP

We have a 1 day job that may come up in NJ for about $400.00.
We don't usually go over there so we are not licensed. Do we need to do the licensing for that?
I checked under the guidelines but it looked contradictory.

If it's not financed work you don't need the license??

The HO did all the permits. It's a little concrete pad. He did most of it but needs someone to do the pour and finish work.

It is my understanding you need it....

Since January 1, 2006, anyone who makes or sells home improvements with respect to residential properties in the State of New Jersey must be registered with the Division of Consumer Affairs

Yes you need a home improvement contractors license for any residential work in NJ. Also it could take up to 3 months to get the license since they are backed up.

Ya- I think I'll just do it. We just did PA and the requirements look the same so it's not a big deal.
I just hate to have to change business cards, letterhead, etc - if I don't need to.

Amelia, - - you should be OK, - - I believe the NJ licensing only pertains to jobs over $500.00

Call and ask? If you are registered in PA they may be ok with that..I know there were places in PA that requiered registration before the state wide requirement and they accepted my NJ registration.

If the HO pulled the permits - he owns the job....he must perform the work and not "supervise" or sub it out.

Unless something's changed recently, - - the homeowner pulling the permits simply means he's taking responsibility for whoever's doing the job.

My cousin just did it (on his own addition) last summer and the inspectors were well aware he subbed most of it out.

I don't happen to have any permit paperwork laying around right now, - - but I believe it spells it out pretty clearly on the back of the folder where the final signatures go.

CAN I DO THE WORK MYSELF?

• Carpenters do not have to be licensed in New Jersey, however, Plumbers, Electricians and Fire Alarm contractors are required to have a State License.

Really?

Just in need of the proper 'updating' . . .

Your fine, the job is under $500

Really. It is not a license, it is a registration. It also eliminates municipalities from requiring a merchantile license. I actually save a couple hundred a year.A NJ builders license is another animal altogether.
