Been runnin a small general outfit here in rural Ohio for 10 years, takin on everything from deck builds to basic kitchen renos, and now this new state licensing push is hittin us hard. They want $800 just for the initial cert plus CE credits every year, and half my jobs are under $2k so the margins are already razor thin. Feelin like packin it in and goin back to subbin out, anyone else dealin with this crap?
