Approved by NC Licensing Board: Moving Forward

It’s been a while since Michael or I have posted on the blog. There is a reason.

When we selected our contractor, we made sure that he knew the job was in NC. He did some research and called South Carolina about transferring his General Contracting License to North Carolina. They stated that South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee have reciprocity with one another. The test for GC is the same of all three states. When he asked about the process, they stated that it would be easy to transfer the license. However, that was not the case. He had to go to Columbia, get an official copy of his license, and take it to Raliegh. He had to start an LLC in NC. He had to have several letters of recommendations. He also had to disclose financials for his current business in South Carolina. Once he got preapproved, the board only meets in the first week of each month. Therefore, after he was preapproved, we had to wait until the first week in October for him to be officially approved. Six weeks after sending NC the information, Charles Jones now has confirmation that he is a license contractor in NC. Now, we can pull the permit, and get a inspection… and put up the walls. This week, we will pull the permit, and have a walk through with the inspector.

The reason we didn’t post on the blog is because we were waiting on the permit. There wasn't much work being done and I didn’t want to draw attention to the loft. We will post pictures very soon! Thanks everyone for their patience.
