North Carolina Contractor License Courses, Classes & Exam Prep

Construction laws vary from state to state, but in North Carolina, a contractor’s license is required for any work that exceeds $40,000 in labor and materials. The primary benefits of a North Carolina contractor’s license are:

Instant Credibility 

The license allows you to establish yourself, build trust, and build your business.

Work More. Earn More. 

Larger projects are off limits without the license and clients will pay a higher price for the work of a licensed contractor than an unlicensed handyperson.
