I've been kicking around the idea of starting an exterior repairs company-roofs, gutters, siding, shutters, decks, etc., but I have literally 0 experience or knowledge in this area. My general concept is to market, sell, and schedule jobs and then find subcontractors to physically do the work. If the business were to evolve then I would eventually hire my own crews for the physical work and for sales and office work with me at the top making the critical decisions. I have no idea how to price jobs or how to find reliable and quality subcontractors. Do I need a license to do this?
Does anyone have any experience or insight on this that they could share?
