  2. Confirm it live with CSLB's Instant License Check. Statuses change between our weekly refreshes, especially workers' comp and bond suspensions.
  3. Get the bid and contract in writing with the license number on it. If the job tops $1,000 in labor and materials, a licensed general contractor is required by law. See the $1,000 rule.
