Contractors in 31904 (Columbus)

Georgia requires a state license for residential and general contractors on any project over $2,500, issued by the State Licensing Board for Residential and General Contractors under the Secretary of State. Electrical, plumbing, HVAC (conditioned air) and low voltage work is licensed separately by the Construction Industry Licensing Board. Trades such as roofing, painting and flooring have no state license in Georgia, only a local business license, so ask those pros for insurance instead.
