Do you need New Jersey handyman license?

Yes, you need a New Jersey handyman license to perform handyman services in the state. The New Jersey Home Improvement Contractors’ Registration Act requires all individuals and businesses that provide home improvement services, including handyman services, to be registered with the state.

To obtain a New Jersey handyman license, you must meet certain requirements, including:

* Being at least 18 years old

* Having a valid driver's license

* Passing a criminal background check

* Completing a home improvement contractor's course

* Passing the state licensing exam

Once you have met all of the requirements, you can apply for a New Jersey handyman license online through the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs website. The license fee is $100.

The New Jersey handyman license allows you to perform a wide range of home improvement services, including:

* Carpentry

* Painting

* Plumbing

* Electrical work

* Roofing

* Siding

* Windows

* Doors

* Flooring

* Tile work

However, there are some restrictions on the type of work that you can perform under a handyman license. For example, you cannot perform any work that requires a separate license, such as plumbing or electrical work.

If you are caught performing handyman services without a license, you could be subject to fines, imprisonment, or both.
