yeah this is confusing.
Did this guy have two separate contracts? One for labor, one for materials? Or one contract and the guy subcontracted the labor out?

It doesn't matter. He clearly acted as the GC either way. Some people think they can skirt the system by having you pay the "subs" directly. He rolled his profit into material cost and would also probably take a cut from the sub. The law and the contractor board will not care as it's obvious he was acting in the capacity of a GC.

If I send a sub to do work for someone I usually do it as a favor and stay out of it 100%. Of course, I only send someone I would trust.
