This is not a legal issue and shouldn't be thought of one. If someone does not want to see me naked, or hear me whistling out of tune, all they have to do is say so, and something might be done about it. People ask if I mind them smoking cigarettes, talking on phones or taking pictures of things when I'm nude nearby. Not a problem. If me being naked is a problem, they say so and I can go and find some shorts or just leave them to do whatever they are in my home to do. How about a boxer fighting another boxer? if you fight like that, it's a legal permission sort of thing as being hit by someone else, is usually an assault, but because fighting is about being hit, it's never an assault but an expected event due to the nature of the contest and the fact that both fighters take the same known risk of being hurt.
What about those of us who might not be so naturally handsome and good looking? If i haven't washed and shaved, or brushed my teeth or hair, i probably look a bit wild myself. If a tradesperson or a friend calls at my house, am I to panic and find a large paper bag to slip over my head? I don't think so. If any handsome chap came to my door with a bag over his head, i'd probably think i was about to be mugged and hit him hard with a cricket bat. if it happened to be a lawyer at my door, he'd probably appreciate an ambulance being called rather swiftly.
I would not however "Foist" my lifestyle choice on service providers who come to my home. To do so i believe is tantamount to exhibitionism andnothing more than your desire to be seen naked in my humble opinion.Thats a good observation.
I agree, but if you warn them ahead that you will be nude when they arrive unless they ask you not to be, I think it would be OK.

I agree, but think someone should be warned ahead of time unless they arrive unannounced and one should offer to be dressed if the person wants them to,
In most states in the US, you are legally permitted to be nude in your own home regardless of who might be there. Arkansas is an obvious exception to that rule.
You are not legally obligated to get dressed. If you do not get dressed, the service person is not obligated to stay.
If someone shows up unannounced, I don't get dressed. I don't apologize for my lack of clothing. In fact, I don't even mention it; nude is normal in my house.
Recently had a friend over. He needed to go to the emergency room. I called 911. When the first guy got there, I opened the door. No comment about my lack of clothing. [There is a sign on the door stating that this is a nudist household. It's NOT a warning or caution.]
"I'm here to see [friend's name]. May I come in?"
"Yes, certainly. He's right here."
When the actual ambulance arrived, the first responder guy said, "I saw the sign on your door. I don't want to do or say anything that would be offensive, but one of the people on the ambulance is a woman. Would you be willing to put some sorts on?"
"No. I will not get dressed in my own home; it's a religious issue." [And that's the truth.] "She is a medical professional and it really should not matter. [He nodded ascent to this.] However, I am willing to sit down, if that will help."
He said, "That'll work."
So, I sat down while the ambulance people were in the house. But, honestly, how could simple nudity be shocking or offensive to ANY medical professional?
"No. I will not get dressed in my own home; it's a religious issue." [And that's the truth.]
Religious issue? Are you an Adamite? I don't know of any other formal religion that brings nudism to the story, though I haven't done the research to know the score.
I also didn't think there were any Adamites left in the world. Are you attempting a revival of the order?
If it's a female nudist homeowner there will likely be no problem, on the other hand, an old guy like me might never see service from any company providing said service in my home again. I don't think it's a legal issue, at least it shouldn't be.
I've changed how I handle this.When we ask them to perform services for us in our home, we should always tell them first or announce that fact that we are nude, before you open the door and let them in. Let them make the choice if they are okay with it.
I used to not let service people know in advance that I was a nudist and would be nude in the house. This was almost never a problem. Almost all of the service people recognized they were there to do a job and did it without regard to my lack of artificial adornment.
There were a couple of times when it became an issue.
However, a while back I started telling them I was a nudist when I scheduled the appointment and explained that I would be nude -- giving them the chance to decide whether they wanted my money. So far, no one has refused and there's no surprise at the door.
As far as delivery drivers and unannounced visitors are concerned, I just open the door like anyone else would.
Yes, I understand that textiles suffer with a sexual perversion. But that's something they need to discuss with their mental health professional and they should not be foisting their sexual perversions on others.
Depending where one lives, there might be laws regarding exhibitionism, indecent exposure, etc. What is indecent and shameful about the human body is beyond us but in our society body shaming, etc. is the unfortunate fact!!
Not an Adamite -- in fact, never even heard of that."No. I will not get dressed in my own home; it's a religious issue." [And that's the truth.]Religious issue? Are you an Adamite? I don't know of any other formal religion that brings nudism to the story, though I haven't done the research to know the score.I also didn't think there were any Adamites left in the world.

But I'm guessing that only "formal religions" are acceptable and have merit.
The laws in Texas protect us if we choose to be nude in our home and in our case outside near the house on a couple of acres...paraphrased for in Texas Indecency Exposure/Public Nudity is likely to be considered to have happened if you are reckless or careless about who might see you nude in public....the anus of men and women and the sex organs must be covered up by state statutes although some counties like Brazoria County in Texas have made a county ordinance forbidding bare breasted women in public..I think the Brazoria County thing needs to be challenged in Federal Court since Fed Judges are appointed and do not need to concern themselves with getting reelected by the locals, just apply the US Constitution...In Austin Tx where I work and live near by the City of Austin has in it's ordinances a law that allows thongs and topless women in city parks , but again Austin is smarter than Brazoria County, we also have a legal clothing option Travis County Public Park on Lake Travis 5 miles west of Austin that is nude legal there
