Hiring a General Contractor in San Francisco, California
California requires general contractors to hold a state license. The Contractors State License Board (CSLB) classifies contractors by type—General Building Contractor, General Engineering Contractor, Residential Remodeling Contractor, and many specialty classes like Concrete Contractor (C-8) and Building Moving/Demolition Contractor (C-21). Before hiring, verify the contractor holds the correct license classification for your work.
To check a contractor's license status, use the CSLB online license lookup tool. You can search by license number, business name, or the contractor's name. The lookup will show whether the license is active and disclose any complaints. Do this before signing a contract.
Most building or structure work in California requires a permit from your local building department. Code requirements vary by city and county, so contact your local building department to confirm what permits your project needs. Your contractor can guide you through the permit process once you have hired them.
What license classification do I need for concrete or demolition work?
California offers a Concrete Contractor license (C-8) and a Building Moving/Demolition Contractor license (C-21). Verify which classification the contractor holds—it must match the scope of your work. [1]
How do I check if a contractor's license is valid?
Use the CSLB online license lookup at cslb.ca.gov. You can search by the contractor's license number, business name, or owner name. The results show the license status and any complaint disclosures. [4]
Do I need a building permit for my project?
California law requires a permit before erecting, constructing, altering, repairing, moving, improving, removing, converting, or demolishing any building or structure. Permit requirements vary by city and county—check with your local building department to confirm what you need. [3]
Where do I find my local building department?
The CSLB website provides links to city, county, and town building departments throughout California. Search for your city or county to find the correct agency and their permit requirements. [3]
What should I ask a contractor before hiring?
Before signing a contract, verify the contractor holds a valid license, confirm the license matches your project type, and review the contract terms and binding agreements. The CSLB recommends reading the Hiring a Contractor page for detailed guidance on contracts and home improvement agreements. [2]
