The Louisiana rule
Regulator: Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors (LSLBC), incl. its Residential Building Contractors Subcommittee; State Plumbing Board of Louisiana for plumbers
Home improvement work on an existing residential structure requires an LSLBC Home Improvement registration when the project value is $7,500 or more (statute per Act 178 of 2024: '$7,500 or more but less than $50,000'; LSLBC Types of Licenses page: 'seven thousand five hundred dollars or more'). Note: LSLBC FAQ still words it 'exceeds $7,500 but not exceeding $50,000' - official sources conflict on whether exactly $7,500 is covered; statute/Act digest says 'or more'. Over $50,000 home improvement requires a Residential Construction license. Total project value = labor + materials no matter who supplies materials. EXCEPTION TO THE EXEMPTION: since Jan 1, 2026 (Act 422 of 2025) any work on any portion of a residential roofing system requires a Residential Roofing or Residential Construction license (no dollar floor stated in the Act digest). Mold remediation $7,500+ needs a Mold license; commercial electrical/mechanical/plumbing over $10,000 needs a commercial license; asbestos/hazardous/lead abatement from $1.
What counts toward it: labor+materials
"or to structures which are adjacent to such residence or building for which the project value is seven thousand five hundred dollars or more."
