Choose wisely to begin your homebuilding career.
Class "C" license classifications
A Class "C" is the most basic classification for a contractor or builder. This worker can do almost all types of construction with some exceptions. A Class "C" contractor cannot do plumbing work unless he is a specialist in this area. This type of work can be done by contractors and builders who have the appropriate licenses.
The first step toward obtaining a contractor's license is choosing the type of contractor or builder's license that applies to you. If you are involved in multiple projects, a Class "C", or a "B" license, is the best option. Classes "C" licenses allow you to do a variety of projects. These licenses range from a few hundreds dollars to several hundred.
Financial requirements
You can apply for either a builder's license or contractor's permit depending on the laws in your state. Both require financial statements as well as bonds. There are some differences. A minimum of $15,000 in bond or cashier's checks is required to get a contractor's license. Visit the CSLB's page on Bond Requirements to determine if your application is eligible for an individual bond.
Contractors must pass a background check and take a business management exam in addition to meeting financial requirements. Contractors must have a current license. They should also have liability and worker’s compensation insurance. Contractors who have a license are able to compete with unlicensed ones in the market. Licensed contractors are more competitive than those without licenses because they are protected under the law.
Indemnity insurance
Consider insurance coverage when you work on a construction job. It is not required in New York but most counties require contractors to have liability insurance. Do not cut corners on your insurance coverage. A claim could endanger your business. Things can go wrong when you work on a job site with just one worker or with hundreds of workers. In order to minimize your risk, it is best to transfer them to an insured company. This will ensure that they cover the cost and burdens of injuries and accidents.

How to replace the doorknob
The best way to replace something is to make it both functional and beautiful. An attractive door handle can easily replace a plain doorknob.
This is where the key is to make sure whatever you choose looks exactly like the original, and is easy to use.
If other shiny finishes are in place, a shiny brass knob could be too expensive. If there's no other furniture in the room, you can have it!
An alternative is to match the knobs with the existing hardware but keep the design of the rest the house. This is a great option if you are renovating your kitchen cabinets or installing a new countertop in another area of the house.
If you want to stick with a traditional look, consider changing your knobs with matching handles.
