How to check a general contractor's license in Downey

  1. Find the business in the list below, or search all 273 Downey listings, and open its profile. You want a Clear status and the B classification (a B license can also cover it as part of a multi-trade job).
  2. Before any money changes hands, verify the license on CSLB's own lookup. Our data comes from CSLB's weekly file, so a very recent change may not show here yet.
  3. Match the license holder's name to the name on the written contract and the person you meet. Since 57.1% of Downey general contractors claim a workers' comp exemption, ask who will actually do the work. Hiring checklist.
