How to choose a contractor in California
- Get two or three written bids with the same scope.
- Ask for proof of liability insurance and workers' comp.
- Tie payments to finished stages of the work, never all up front.
Check the license: Contractors State License Board (CSLB). In California, most home improvement work above the state's small-job limit requires a CSLB license. Look the number up before you sign, and check that it is active and bonded.
