Common questions about home services websites
Does my handyman website need a license number?
It depends on your state. Many states exempt handymen from contractor licensing for jobs under a certain dollar amount, but some require registration even for small jobs. Check your state requirements.
What insurance information should my contractor website display?
At minimum, display your general liability coverage amount and workers compensation status. Customers increasingly verify this before hiring, and some states require it on all advertising.
Do I need a home improvement contractor registration?
Many states require separate home improvement contractor registration in addition to (or instead of) a contractor license. NH, CT, and PA all have specific home improvement contractor requirements.
