In California, concrete contractors must hold a state license. The Contractors State License Board (CSLB) classifies concrete work under the C-8 Concrete Contractor license type. Before hiring any contractor, verify their license status on the CSLB website using their license number or business name. You can look up a contractor license at https://www.cslb.ca.gov/OnlineServices/CheckLicenseII/CheckLicense.aspx. The license number is an 8-digit number found on the contractor's plastic pocket license. Be sure to check for any complaint disclosures against the contractor.

Most concrete projects in California require a building permit. According to the California Building Standards Code, no concrete work may be installed unless a permit has first been obtained from your local building department. Code requirements vary by city and county, so contact your local building department—whether city, county, or town—to find out what permits and inspections are needed for your specific project.

When selecting a concrete contractor, ask about their experience with your type of project, request references, and review any contract carefully before signing. It is wise to understand upfront whether the contractor will handle permitting and grading, and to discuss design options and timelines for curing before work begins.
