How to check a limited specialty contractor's license in Palm Desert

  1. Look the company up by name or license number (search Palm Desert). 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. Re-check the same number on CSLB's Instant License Check the day you sign; our copy is refreshed weekly and 1.4% of Palm Desert listings here already show a suspension.
  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.
