Licenses with the Contractors Board are regulated and required at various levels: Contractor license is required for projects in excess of $25,000; Home Improvement license is required for projects from $3,000 to less than $24,999 (in certain counties); less than $25,000, a license is required for electricians (LLE) and plumbers (LLP); and Contractor exam course providers must be approved by the Board.
