Unlicensed contractor bad idea?

[Sean S.]

Hello,

I have a friend that is a unlicensed contractor. I trust him, but is there anything I should not let him work on? I know the majority of people say to only higher licensed, but I feel that he would do a good job. What insurances would you recommend? I flip houses, not sure if that impacts anything.

Thanks for asking that question. Here's a thread I found:
