Mitch,
An important reason for putting the word handyman on your signage and business cards is to be clear to the public that you are not a licensed contractor. If your sign states the type of work that you do…electrical, plumbing, general repairs, etc. it could be misleading if the word handyman is not included.
Have you checked with the Construction Contractors Board in Oregon regarding their requirements? They discuss Exemptions from Licensure in Section 701.010 http://ccbed.ccb.state.or.us/WEBpdf/ccb/statutes/ORS%20701.pdf (4) A person working on one structure or project, under one or more contracts, when the aggregate price of all of that person's contracts for labor, materials and all other items is less than $500 and such work is of a casual, minor or inconsequential nature. This subsection does not apply to a person who advertises or puts out any sign or card or other device that might indicate to the public that the person is a contractor.
Hope this is of some help,

Bob, Thanks a MILLION for getting those to me in the .zip file. I had no idea that the files were attached to the .pdf until I printed it tonight. Sorry about that. I wanted to know one more thing, if you don't mind. Do we need to put "Handyman" on our business cards or magnetic door signs? I think out of all, this was one of the more perplexing issues that I had wondered about. I live in Oregon ( If that makes a difference ) and last night ordered my cards and door signs already, WITHOUT putting that on there... Best Regards, Mitch.. | ||||
