Replied to “me and a buddy want to start an LLC doing handyman + small electrical. is HIC enough?”

update: talked to my boss like mbell said. he laughed at the LLC part, then said if my buddy lands bathrooms the shop will do the electrical and i can be on those jobs. so that's kind of a win?

Question

failed rough-in, boss says the inspector is wrong. who do i believe

1st year out of vo-tech, working for a small shop near asbury. we failed a rough in on a bathroom remodel today. inspector wrote up "physical protection" on a couple runs where the cable goes through studs, and something about the box by the vanity being too full. boss says the inspector is being picky and he's done it this way for years. i don't want to say anything dumb but i also want to understand it. who's right edit: it was nail plates on two studs where the holes were close to the edge. boss fixed it, passed on reinspection. thanks for explaining instead of just dunking on me

Question

me and a buddy want to start an LLC doing handyman + small electrical. is HIC enough?

ok so hear me out. my buddy is a carpenter, i'm a year out of vo-tech working for an electrical shop near asbury. we want to start an LLC on the side, register as a home improvement contractor with the state, and do bathroom refreshes, decks, and the "small electrical" like fixtures, outlets, fans. he says the HIC registration covers all of it as long as it's under the LLC. is that right? and what insurance would we even need for something like that? we're not trying to do panels or anything crazy
