CSLB's public data lists 76 limited specialty contractors with a mailing address in Oakland, and 71 of them (93.4%) show a Clear primary status.

26.3% report a workers' comp exemption, 9.9 points lower than the statewide figure for limited specialty contractors (36.2%), so many of these businesses say they have no employees. The share with a suspension, 6.6%, is 1.9 points higher than the Alameda County rate for the same license (4.7%).

Experience varies: 55.3% have been licensed 10+ years and 2 are new this year (median 13.3 years, vs 13 statewide).

C-61 licenses are always paired with a D-subcategory that names the specific trade, so check the "D" code on each profile. See the C-61 Limited Specialty guide for what the license covers.

How to check a limited specialty contractor's license in Oakland

  1. Look the company up by name or license number (search Oakland). On the profile, confirm three things: Clear status, the C-61 license for this kind of work, and a contractor's bond on file.
  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. Ask for proof of workers' comp if anyone besides the owner will work on site. Hiring checklist.
