Licensing and permits in South Carolina

Licence required. SC LLR Residential Builders Commission (residential builder, jobs over $5,000) / Contractor's Licensing Board (commercial, over $10,000). For any residential job over $5,000, confirm a Residential Builder License number on the LLR lookup — unlicensed contracting above that threshold is illegal in SC.

Residential building permits in South Carolina are issued by the local city or county building/code enforcement department (not the state); requirements vary somewhat by jurisdiction, so confirm with the local office. In Charleston, permits come from the City of Charleston Permit Center (Development & Construction Services).

Tax: Pure labor-only services are generally not taxable, but for construction/repair contractors SCDOR treats separately-stated, reasonable installation/repair labor as non-taxable while materials and any labor not clearly broken out on the invoice can be swept into the taxable sale — always ask for a proposal that itemizes labor vs. materials.

Best time to book in Charleston

Interior painting can be booked year-round, but spring/early summer and pre-holiday fall are peak demand; winter (Dec-Feb) tends to have better pro availability and pricing. Peak demand: March, April, May, June, September and October. Typical job length: 1-3 days for a room, 3-7 days for a whole home.

DIY or pro? DIY is reasonable for a single room in good condition (walls only, no major prep) at $100-300 in materials; hire a pro for whole-home jobs, high/vaulted ceilings, extensive prep or repairs, or trim and ceiling work.
