Q: Which licenses and permits should I expect for a drywall contractor?
A: Good to meet you, think of this as a trail map for your drywall contractor. Not every marker applies to every traveler, so we check which ones are on your path.
1. Business license: A business license for a drywall business MAY ask whether you hang, tape or finish drywall, the number of workers and vehicles, and the size of jobs you accept. 2. Sales tax permit: A sales tax permit MAY be needed because drywall sheets and supplies are taxable goods, and how tax applies to installation depends on how the contract is written. 3. Contractor license: Hanging and finishing drywall may require a contractor license once jobs pass a certain size. 4. Dust and silica safety rules: Sanding and cutting may require dust controls and protective equipment for workers. 5. Surety bond: A bond may be required to protect customers if a job is left unfinished. 6. Proof of liability insurance: Coverage for water, dust or wall damage at customers' homes is commonly requested, along with workers' coverage. 7. Company papers: A DBA, an LLC or a tax ID number MAY make sense for your drywall contractor, and we prepare all of these documents on this site, so everything can be ordered in one place.
