If your doing side work, and your not licensed, chances are pretty good, there is no permit pulled.

When you do a job, and there was no permit issued, the homeowner just put his life investment on the block, because his homeowners insurance, is no longer whole, insurance underwriters protect their investment, by putting a clause in the insurance contract, that all work done must meet all building codes, or other language that protects the insurer from a loss.

Now, who do you think the homeowner is going to go after, when his insurer denies payment on a claim, and don't think this dosen't happen.

No, i din't do side work before i had my license, and i made sure every job, had a permit pulled.
