Any Value to Getting Home Improvement Contractor's License?

[Benjamin Molnar]

Hi I'm looking into getting a home improvement contractor's license in New Jersey only for my own property or property that I'm working with a partner on.  Is this worth doing?  Will I be able to save money on materials or will I lose money maintaining the license requirements (Insurance, license fees, etc.)?  I don't have an intention of quitting my day job in the short term.
