Best Answer:
Generally speaking, you have to have a contractor's license because you are going to be selling a service. It's fairly lengthy, but, last I checked, it was open book. It's best to check with Virginia's licensing information through the county you live in. Also, if you're trying to do work in the tri state area, like MD, VA and DC- you might want to "partner up" with some other subs so you can work under each other's umbrella of licenses and insurances.
