Welcome to Contractors Book Center!

We are featuring a book which describes how to get contracts in other states.

Getting work in other states can be good business. But each state has its own licensing requirements for different trades. Contracting in All 50 States shows you how to apply for a building (residential or commercial), electrical, mechanical, or specialty license.

Here you’ll find how to apply for work on public (Department of Transportation) projects, and how to register as an out-of-state corporation doing business in that state. It even lists what subjects you’ll have to study to pass the licensing exam. All the essential information is here: who to call, where to get information, application fees, requirements, and details about the exam.

Author R.L. Bryson notes in the intro:

"To get this information for you we began by finding out just which agency in each state is responsible for licensing general contractors, residential and commercial contractors, and as many of the trades as possible. We asked about electricians, plumbers, asbestos abatement, HVAC, roofing, etc.

Then we asked each agency the questions you'll need answers to if you want to get a license in the state. Here are some of our questions:

• Do I need a license to practice my trade in your state?
• Will your state accept the license I already have?
• How much will your license cost?
• How long is it good for?
• Who do I contact to apply for a license?
• What do I have to do to qualify for a license?
• Do I have to take an exam?
• What kind of exam is it and what's it on?
• What study materials do I need to prepare for the exam?"
