Contractor Licensing: What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You
Failure to follow contractor licensing laws can have draconian consequences, writes Kraftson Caudle of Virginia on its blog.
“In California, for example, if a contractor is not licensed at all times while performing work, which includes bid submittal, then
the contractor is not entitled to any future payment and forfeits all prior payment,” the firm writes.
“In some states, like Virginia, a contractor’s good faith effort to comply with the licensing law is a factor
in determining whether that contractor may recover in equity,” the article continues.
