A What And What Contractor?

“A licensed and bonded contractor,” repeats David. Stephanie frowns a bit. “What do those things even mean and what does it have to do with the cost to paint our house exterior? I assume something good, otherwise, you’d be frowning right now too.”

David chuckles. “You’re right about that. Here, one of the painting contractors we’re thinking about hiring sent us some stuff to read. Mostly, frequently asked questions and stuff we need to know before moving forward.” Stephanie claps her hands excitedly. “Show me!

A contractor license basically means a contractor is approved by and allowed to work in whatever state their company is in. A contractor needs a license to do jobs over $1,000.

Licensed vs Unlicensed Contractors

As far as house painting goes, a license represents reputation. Respectable painters will have one. It can also protect you from any legal consequences from a worker being hurt on the job (like from falling off of a ladder).

Having a license shows that a contractor is serious about their work. They’re far less likely to cut corners or have shady business practices.

You’re also protected when working with licensed contractors. They take on the liabilities for the quality of work as well as legal and financial consequences. If an unlicensed contractor does work in your home and it isn’t up to code, you’re responsible.
