GC Help

You passed the exam. Now get the license.

Books and exam prep get you to the PSI pass. That's the easy part. GC Help is for everything after it — applying, handling, upgrading, and changing your South Carolina license, without getting stuck where most guys stop.

South Carolina, start to finish

We start with South Carolina, because that's the state Seneca knows cold. Each walkthrough is a step-by-step path, with your progress saved to your account.

1. Initial application

Pass papers in, license out — the Columbia walkthrough.

2. Upgrade

Move your license up, including to Group 5 Unlimited.

3. Entity change

Change the entity behind the license, cleanly.

4. Name change

Change the name on the license, cleanly.

5. Second license, same qualifier

Fire up a second license under your same qualifier.

The goal in each one: walk out fully credentialed, licensed, bonded, and insured — in one day, when the steps are done right.

Honest note: The Columbia same-day walkthrough is Seneca's own experience. Steps are verified against South Carolina LLR sources before they are published as fact, and this site is guidance — not legal advice, and not LLR itself.

For GC, plumber, electrician, and mechanical

Passing as a plumber, electrician, or mechanical contractor leaves the same gap: you passed, now what? These walkthroughs cover that post-pass step for each trade, starting in South Carolina.

A named person behind it

SG

Seneca Garcia — licensed unlimited commercial general contractor. He has walked this process himself, in Columbia, and built GC Help so other contractors don't have to guess at the part after the pass.

Exam prep is where you start. When you're ready for the PSI step, GC Help points you outward to exam-prep providers — only providers that don't compete with this guidance. No funnel, no mystery.
