It varies depending on what state in which you are licensed, for what exactly you are licensed, and whether your license is active or inactive. The average is between two and four years. To find out what the expiration is for your specific state, you can go online to www.contractors-license.org/ - This site has information and links to each states licensing board.

Top Four Reasons To Get a Contractor License?

In many states throughout the nation, it is getting more necessary to become a certified licensed contractor. As building codes become tighter and materials more specialized many state and local governments are pushing further regulation of the building trades. In some regions, a contractor can not pull a building permit without an up-todate contractor license. Contractors need to prepare their businesses now for the growing changes in the building sector. The very first and foremost reason to get a contractor license is to become legitimate. Most consumers have certain expectations regarding professionalism and legitimacy. Obtaining your contractor’s license will set a good first impression with your potential clients and may even give you an advantage over a contractor who is without their license. Education is important in any occupation and it is becoming increasingly important in the building trades. Innovations in materials and techniques are constant and contractors need to have an adequate understanding of these changes through continuing education. Contractors also need to keep up to date on building codes or run the risk of getting red flagged on a job site for something that could have been easily avoided. Depending on what region the contractor is from, they may already need to have a current contractor license to legally perform the duties of the job. A contractor in these regions could even face fines and legal issues if there are found to be contracting a house without a current license. Making a living in the building trades can be difficult enough without those kind of headaches. The last reason to get a contractor license is to get insured. Business insurance is very important in the building trades because of the risks involved with working with heavy machinery, weather conditions, and a plethora of other safety factors. To protect a contractor business insurance is a must have. If something bad happens without insurance, it is all out of pocket.
