Louisiana does not require a statewide handyman license — verification leans on entity registration, court records, OSHA citation history, and BBB complaints. Plus any local municipal licensing in your city. Groundcheck cross-checks all of these.
Louisiana allows handyman work under $7,500 without contractor licensing; residential work between $7,500–$75,000 requires Home Improvement Contractor registration, and commercial over $50,000 requires LSLBC licensing.
