Residential General Contractor (RGC) license in Oregon

Lets a business bid and perform work in any number of unrelated building trades on homes and small commercial structures.

This is the endorsement to look for on a new house, an addition or a remodel that involves several trades. The contractor can do the work, run it through subcontractors or mix the two, and it can also take the one- or two-trade jobs a specialty contractor does.

Residential reaches past the single-family house here. It includes buildings with dwelling units that are four stories or less, individually owned condos, modular homes, manufactured dwellings and floating homes, plus small commercial structures.

The state minimums are a $25,000 bond and $500,000 per occurrence in liability insurance.

Oregon requires a contractor to keep a list of the names, addresses and license numbers of the subcontractors on a project, so asking for those numbers is a fair request. Look each one up before work starts. For electrical and plumbing, CCB's search page sends you to the Building Codes Division.
