Hello. My name is Joshua Rucker and I am in the process of trying to get out of the Labor department and into ownership of my own general construction company.i have been doing residential construction since I was 16 and am 42 and have the required skills and can do everything except electric and plumbing on a residential home. I’m interested in what are the pit falls in applying for a general contractor license.
Applying for a general contractor license in Washington is relatively straightforward, but there are a few potential pitfalls that I can think of:
– Insurance & Bonding Requirements – Washington requires contractors to carry a surety bond and general liability insurance. Important note: As of July 1, 2024, the required contractor license bond amount for general contractors has been raised to $30,000.
– Incomplete or Incorrect Paperwork – Failing to properly complete the application, provide required documentation, or pay the necessary fees can result in delays or rejection.
– Business Structure & Registration – Errors in business registration can complicate the licensing process.
I hope it helps.
