Its not illegal to oversee building of a residential home and providing my license to pull permits. Everyone involved, i.e. Subs has to have insurance, but not everyone involved in the building process has to be licensed. Anything over 75k requires ONE licensed GC

Any remodeling under $75,000 will allow you to pay a licensing fee of around $300 to the La. State Contracting Board. Anything over that will require an additional license. I have both Residential and Commercial licenses, and as far as my knowledge...there is not one set of books to study. Its broken up into several different areas of expertise. Electrical, Plumbing, Cement, Hard and soft trim, etc...Test is 100 questions online at the Board of Contractors, and can only be taken after the Business Law exam...also online, but can be taken from home. If your project is more than 75k, ill be happy to provide my license to spare you the time.
