Explanation: Some states, like Oregon, do not require a handyman to have a license. However, the restrictions of being unlicensed are severe. Usually a rate cap per job, a reduced number of services the handyman can perform, advertisement restrictions, and strict punishment for those caught operating outside the bounds of their position, usually by the CCB. Some states, like Texas, have very few restrictions. It all comes down to what the state and local regulations are in your area.

Explanation: In Virginia, a handyman typically does not need a state license as long as the work performed falls under the category of "minor repairs." However, once a project exceeds $1,000 in value for labor and materials combined, a Virginia contractor license is required. Here's a breakdown of the licensing requirements for handymen in Virginia: * No License Required: For small jobs where the total cost (labor and materials) is under $1,000, no state-issued contractor license is necessary. These jobs typically include tasks like: * Minor plumbing repairs * Replacing light fixtures * Patching drywall * Painting * Installing shelves * Basic landscaping * Class C Contractor License Required: For larger projects where the cost exceeds $1,000, a Class C contractor license is required.
