Confirm This Is the Right License for Your Work

Every state licensing board defines the exact project types, sizes, and trades that fall under each contractor classification. Review the scope below to make sure this license matches the work you actually do — then enroll in the seminar that prepares you for that exam the first time.

The Alabama Carpentry and Framing Contractor license covers framing, finish carpentry, millwork and other carpentry.

License Requirements

Pre-approval from the state is required to sit for the examination.

Applicants must document at least 3 completed projects and 3 years of experience in the category for which they apply.

This license is required for work over $50,000. The Board requires applicants to complete an official financial statement form provided by the board which requires current financial information, less than 1 year old. It must be completed by a CPA and show that applicants meet the Board’s $10,000 minimum net worth AND working capital requirement. Maximum bid limits will be set depending on financial status.

There is no mandated bond or insurance requirements at this time.

Reciprocity

General contractor reciprocity agreements exist with Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Tennessee. However, you must have held the same classification of license in these states for at least 3 years to qualify for reciprocity.

Continuing Education

As of this time, Alabama has no continuing education requirements for this license.
