A handyman contractor is required to include his license number on all of his advertising
The law of this state requires a person or entity who enters into a contract to perform construction work be properly licensed by the Nevada State Contractors Board for the category of work that the person or entity intends to perform. Laws regulating licensed contractors are designed to protect the public. If you contract with a person or entity who is not licensed to perform construction work, your remedies against that person or entity may be limited to a suit in civil court. You may be liable for damages arising out of any injuries to an unlicensed contractor or that contractor’s employees, as well as withholding taxes, contributions pursuant to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act and contributions for industrial insurance and unemployment compensation. In addition, you must comply with other applicable state and federal laws regarding employment.
Finally, you should be aware that construction performed on your property must comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, building codes and regulations. A contractor is required to include his license number on all of his advertising, vehicles, bids and contracts. You may contact the Nevada State Contractors Board to find out if a contractor has a valid license and, if so, the status of that license. The Board has complete information on the status of all licensed contractors in the State of Nevada. This information is available through the “voice response system” of the Nevada State Contractors Board. As referenced above, any contractor who works on a residential property is required to provide Residential Recovery Fund disclosures.
