Ken Rodgers,
   Sounds like "hogwash" story from this "sub". 
   As a contractor he should have comp coverage on employees, and or, exemption on him/officers of business.
   If he is working for the homeowner, and not holding himself out to the public as a contractor, then he becomes an "EMPLOYEE" of the homeowner. The homeowner must then do payroll on him, with state and federal deductions, etc. If he is hired as employee, I'd advise that he should want Workers Comp coverage on himself via homeowner, to cover in the event he is injured.
  Here are our state regs on this. Pretty well spelled out.
