p.s.  I should note that Chuck has not actually laid claim to the first mis-post of a CLC-discussion email.  He adroitly replied to an older email, thereby taking advantage of the little known CLC-discussion grandfathering exemption.  The opportunity for first mis-post still remains up for grabs.

Can an unlicensed contractor try to use the definition of “contractor”, which includes the term “compensation”, for protection from unlicensed contracting issues, when the definition also includes the term “qualified”?

I understand but also see 489.105(3) "Contractor" means the person who is qualified for, and is only responsible for, the project contracted for and means, except as exempted in this part, the person who, for compensation, undertakes to, submits a bid to, or does himself or herself or by others construct, repair, alter, remodel, add to, demolish, subtract from, or improve any building or structure, including related improvements to real estate, for others or for resale to others . . .

Bottom line: I think the law is in favor of the owner vs. the unlicensed (or under-licensed) contractor but sometime we have to get creative to try to help our clients who have created a  mess for themselves.
