If you do anything relating to home improvements, you need to register with the State and get a license number. Follow Dan's link to the State for registration information.

Yes, you need a license. It costs $90 and requires you to have liability insurance. You should consider esgtablishing a Limited Liability Company as a shield for your personal assets. Check out my web site for more information www.taxesq.com

I hope this helps!
