Who can legally do this in Alaska
Alaska contractors must hold a state certificate of registration, a business license, a bond and insurance. Per a 2015 state brochure, a handyman registration limits work to projects of not more than $10,000 including labor and materials, and a residential endorsement is needed for work worth 25% or more of the value of a privately owned home of one to four units. Confirm with the state.
