The 'minor work' exemption allows unlicensed work only when which condition is also met?

Explanation

B&P §7048 exempts work only where the aggregate price for labor, materials, and all other items is under $1,000, the work is casual, minor, or inconsequential, no building permit is required, the person employs no one to help, and the person does not hold out as a contractor. Splitting a larger job into sub-$1,000 pieces is expressly evasion. (a) is the most common misconception on this rule: licensure is not a private right a consumer can waive. (c) states the threshold in the wrong terms — the statute counts the aggregate contract price including materials, not the labor alone. (d) confuses two registrations; a §7153 salesperson registration lets a person sell home improvement contracts for a licensee, and authorizes no unlicensed work.
