Tips for Starting a Home Remodeling Business in North Carolina

Get your contractor's license and insurance before your first job. Operating without them is illegal in most states and one lawsuit ends you.
Kitchen and bathroom remodels have the highest margins. Whole-home renovations sound bigger but the complexity eats your profit.
Your first 10 jobs come from personal network and referrals. Don't spend on ads until you have 5-star reviews to back them up.
Material costs swing 15-30% year over year. Quote projects with current supplier pricing, not last year's numbers.
