Business & LicensingQuestion 436 of 690
A licensed C-10 electrical contractor advertises that it can also perform general roofing work, although it does not hold a C-39 roofing classification. This advertising is:
a.Acceptable, because the contractor holds at least one valid license
b.Acceptable, because roofing and electrical are related trades
c.Acceptable, as long as the roofing jobs stay under $5,000
d.Improper, because a contractor may advertise only for work its license classification authorizes
Explanation
A contractor may advertise only for work within the classifications it actually holds. Advertising roofing work without a roofing classification misleads consumers and can be treated as unlawful advertising for unlicensed work.
