Question

Can you get a general contractors licence with a felony

Answer 1

Well I'd say if you are asked about your arrest history I'd be honest...

goodluck

Answer 2

Yes, but it is hard.  You have to show rehabilitation.  That usually means you get your conviction expunged first and then argue your case to the licensing board.

Answer 3

A General Contractor has to be licensed and bonded.

You'll have a hard time getting bonded with a felony conviction.

Try to clean up your legal record first, by 'expunging' the conviction.

Answer 4

Perhaps, but you would have problems getting bonding, which is also required to be a contractor.
