Licensing, bonding and insurance for a contractor is very ambiguous. Depends on the amount of insurance, and exactly what the insurance covers. I was a contractor, with insurance which, at that time, allowed me to do INCIDENTAL, plumbing, electrical, etc. It's difficult to make everything clear on this forum, but I can tell you this: If you want all of your contractors to be fully insured on everything they do, don't complain about the price they charge. The contractor has to make enough to cover a decent living wage, transportation, tools, health insurance, and then the additional cost of the licensing, bonding and insurance which is the subject of the OP.
