Hey guys. I am now a legal Pa contractor!!!!!

Hey guys. I am now a legal Pa contractor!!!!! I have been legal for a couple days now. I run a lot of adds of Craigslist and have done many jobs through it this past summer. The thing is I pretty much had to register with the Pa state attorney office. The reason being anyone doing any remodeling or construction had to become licensed by July 1rst or face strong fines if caught. I heard that Craigslist was one of the places they were going to look very close at. I really needed to do this anyway and this just put a fire under my butt. I do expect to get even more calls now because before when I ran an add I had to list myself as unlicensed. Many people just won't call an unlicensed contractor. Things are looking up for me this summer and my new to me truck ( 1998 Chevy K1500 4x4 ) that I bought in April for $4,000.00 is about payed off. I only owe another couple hundred bucks and it is mine. Just thought I would make a positive post for a change. Dale

Thanks guys. To be honest I kind of feel like I have had a weight lifted off me. I no longer have to do things on the down low and be worried about being caught. I can go an pull premits now and everything. I also have a $1,000,000.00 of insurance now. Dale

I don't know what you mean there? I am covered up to $2,000,000.00 on some things. My tools, materials and a bunch of other things are also covered. I did not take the cheap plan and there are a whole bunch of riders that they call included in my plan. Dale

Congratulations, it's a good feeling knowing your doing something the "right" way. Now don't forget to puff out your chest and condemn those unlicensed, fly by night types when giving estimates. ( winky smily thing here)
