I am a general contractor in ohio,fully licensed and insured. I am trying to get my Home remodelers license in Louisiana and one thing they require is Workers comp. I sub all my work out to Licensed contractors in their specific filed so I have no w2 payroll per say to speak of. Can anyone tell me of a louisiana insurance company that may underwrite me for workers comp in this situation being that I am from out of state. Note that I am incorporated and also incorporating and registering my company in louisiana.

I just bought my home and I need to remodel it. I was wondering if there was any software out there that can help. How do they work? Do you take a picture of the room and upload it? Or do you have to design the room from beginning to end? If anyone knows of any software that is easy to use please let me know. Thank you!

Are contractors “hungrier” now? Are prices of lumber falling? Can I get a better deal now because the market is depressed? What are the advantages to building now?

cory m asked:

I am about to have a general contractor perform services for me (tile in kitchen, wood flooring, wallpaper removal). He told me that there is no contract to sign, and that we both can sign the proposal he has given me to act as a contract.

I trust the guy, as a trustworthy friend of mine recommended him, but what do I need to do to protect myself?

Is there a simple contract I can draw up to ask him to sign? Where can I find it?

Thank you.

I need to learn ASAP everything I can about Home Remodeling and Improvements. Especially Sunrooms, construction, design, how to build, prepare estimates. Also need a EASY BEGINNER FREE package to use on computer, like Four Seasons Sunrooms give their sales reps. Can go out and take a digital picture, then somehow transfer it to your computer, the home comes up and you can design the sunroom right there to see what the home will look like with a sunroom on it.
