State · California Contractors State License Board (CSLB)
Remodelers work under a B or the newer B-2 license. Only A and B licenses can advertise as general contractors.
“Every person licensed pursuant to this chapter shall include his license number in: (a) all construction contracts; (b) subcontracts and calls for bid; and (c) all forms of advertising”
What it covers
“A residential remodeling contractor is a contractor whose principal contracting business is in connection with any project to make improvements to, on, or in an existing residential wood frame structure, and the project requires the use of at least three unrelated building trades or crafts for a single contract.”
“a general building contractor is a contractor whose principal contracting business is in connection with any structure built, being built, or to be built, for the support, shelter, and enclosure of persons, animals, chattels, or movable property of any kind, requiring in its construction the use of at least two unrelated building trades or crafts”
California · every trade
CSLB counts any website or post that asks for work on the internet as advertising.
CSLB, Advertising Guidelines for ContractorsCalifornia · every trade
Advertise only the work your classification covers, and never say you are bonded.
CSLB, Advertising Guidelines for ContractorsOn your website
Put the number in the footer of every page and beside every quote form, under the business name it is issued to. Read every page as an ad: that is the safe reading of these rules.
Service area
The Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA metro: 2 counties.
