Full FAQ
Do general contractors need a license in Georgia?

Yes, for most residential work. Georgia requires residential and general contractors to be licensed for projects over $2,500 in combined labor and materials. Verify the license with the Georgia Secretary of State.

What should a remodeling contract include?

A complete scope of work, the materials and allowances, the timeline, the payment schedule, the permit plan, and how change orders are handled. Get it in writing before work begins.
