Post: License requirements for painting services

Hey to everyone!
I am a flipper from SW Florida (Cape Coral) currently i have my flip for sale and a little free time on my hands since i fund my projects cash with no lending.
Working with the same people I was thinking about throwing a few google ads out and offering painting services and potentially some others.
I can't seem to find a definite answer about my question. Do I need to have a license if I offer painting services online? I would basically sub contract all the work. On the myfloridalicense website it says that painting services do NOT require a state license, however anyone contracting any kind of handymen services is required to have a license.
Does that mean as long as I do not type up a contract about the service I can do the work and get paid?
Maybe someone can help
Thanks so much
Nick

So, I financed this deal with just a conventional mortgage after double checking there wouldn't be any early pay off penalties. I came across this deal on MLS... This property came on the market early monday morning and i had an offer in by 7pm the same day competing with another cash buyer.
A few challenges I came across included finding GOOD workers!!! Sounds cliche but it was so true. Everyone says they can do everything but really can't do anything...
Another big one was that I really had no idea or put any thought into how expensive some materials were that I could have saved and just refinished/painted
Really upset I was at myself for not having a structured game plan on how exactly to approach the renno. This is definitely something I have learned, would have made things a lot easier. So thats definitely something I will be putting in some more time on my next project.
@Account Closed- I agree with you, I was happy it didn't sit on the market very long and cost me more money... I personally worked on the house every day, 7 days a week. I did always have some guys in there working but I was always there as well.

Just wanted to share my first flip with you guys.
I bought this property in Riverview, FL for $140,000.00. It was a complete gut. New Flooring, Pool finish, T111 Siding, new doors, new knockdown texture throughout the house, new facia and so on.
The property cost me with all expenses throughout the renovation and including all materials $45.000
Sold for 250.000,00. Had multiple offers within 5 days of listing. Im so excited and encouraged to move forward onto my next project. WHO wants to invest with me? :D
Here are some before and after pictures. Any thoughts would be highly appreciated
