A Class B contractor with no C-33 license is asked to take a paint-only prime contract on an existing house. No other unrelated trade is included. What is the best classification answer?

Correct Answer

B) Do not take it under only Class B unless properly licensed for the specialty or otherwise allowed by law.

For work involving trades other than framing or carpentry, Class B authority generally requires at least two unrelated trades other than framing/carpentry, or the appropriate specialty license or licensed subcontractor.

Answer Options
A
Accept it because any work on a house is covered by Class B.
B
Do not take it under only Class B unless properly licensed for the specialty or otherwise allowed by law.
C
Accept it if the owner signs a home improvement contract over $500, with the work described carefully in the customer proposal.
D
Accept it if a carpenter visits the project once during the job.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

For work involving trades other than framing or carpentry, Class B authority generally requires at least two unrelated trades other than framing/carpentry, or the appropriate specialty license or licensed subcontractor.
