Correct answer: C - Small commercial because all construction contractor work for the project is $250,000 or less
A handyman agrees to replace interior trim for $850. The work is casual and minor, and the handyman otherwise meets the conditions for Oregon's under-$1,000 exemption. However, the handyman advertises online to the public as a construction contractor. May the exemption be used?
Correct answer: D - No, because advertising to the public as a contractor defeats this exemption
A residential repair agreement begins at $1,850. During performance, the owner authorizes added work, so the contractor now knows the total price will be $2,350. Which action satisfies Oregon's threshold-crossing rule?
Correct answer: A - Deliver the required written contract and notices no later than five days after learning the total will exceed $2,000

Under ORS 670.600, what is the best conclusion?
Correct answer: B - The independently established business test is not met because only two of its five criteria are shown

A tile subcontractor installs the specified finishes throughout a house but uses the wrong grout color in one powder room. Correction is straightforward, will not delay occupancy, and does not affect safety or use of the home. How should the breach ordinarily be classified?
Correct answer: D - Minor or partial breach subject to correction or damages
An Oregon subcontractor last performs substantive contract work on August 20. The improvement is completed on September 5. On September 25, the subcontractor returns only to tighten one screw, solely to try to extend the lien deadline. From which date is the 75-day recording deadline measured?
