Other contractors and builders may be able to perform these kinds of work, depending on their license classifications.

You can also apply for Class B licenses if your work involves only a few people. Class "C” licenses can be used to cover a range projects. The cost of a Class "C” license is between a few hundred and several thousand dollars.
Financial requirements
Your state may allow you to apply for a contractor license or builder's licence. Both require financial statements and bonds. There are however some differences. To be eligible for a contractor's license, you must either have a bond of at most $15,000 or a cashier’s bank check.

Contractors must pass a background check and take a business management exam in addition to meeting financial requirements. Contractors must be current with their licenses and not have any grievances about contracting. They should also have liability and worker’s compensation insurance. Contractors have an advantage over other contractors by having a license. Licensees are better able to compete with those who don't have a license.

Do not cut corners on your insurance coverage. A claim could endanger your business. You never know what could happen on a job site, no matter how many people you work with.
