Nothing!?!
Not even for Commercial?
What do you suppose a license does anyway? :whistling
Isn't California and a few other states tightly regulated, but hacks work away?
When we build new homes, the insurance and experience do as much to regulate who works as a "tax" and a piece of paper. When we do commercial work, it is about the same...a hack doesn't get in the door, since they usually don't have the experience, credit, contacts, or know how to get the job anyway.
We have beat this horse to death in many threads, and those of us that live in states without licensing are as qualified as contractors who have passed multiple tests......the license does not get the job.
Oklahoma will soon have statewide licensing to insure "compliance" with WC laws, "experience", and insurance, but we have that covered. What this really means is A: a new tax, and B: another way to insure we are buying insurance. A test does not mean the work will be exceptional.
Except for hack remodelers and flippers, who has an example of an unlicensed contractor landing a really good project? :thumbsup:
