Getting licensed, bonded, and insured has to be worth something. What is an inspector going to see on a small service job if a competant licensed electrician does the work? I admit an extra set of eyes is nice to point out something you may miss but there has to be a line somewhere. In my state any job valued at under $750 can be performed by an unlicensed contractor as long as they don't advertise as a licensed contractor. If I started to pull permits for my service calls.......well you be the judge. My license should be worth more than a piece of paper on a wall.
