In California, general contractors must hold a state license from the Contractors State License Board (CSLB). There are several contractor license classifications—a General Building Contractor can handle a wide range of work, while a Residential Remodeling Contractor is limited to residential projects under specified dollar thresholds. Before you hire, check the contractor's license status and type on the CSLB website using either their license number or business name.

According to California Building Standards Code, most building projects require a separate permit from your local building department before work begins. Permit requirements vary by city and county, so contact your local San Francisco building department to learn what applies to your project. A licensed contractor experienced with your city's process can help navigate these requirements.

When evaluating a contractor, verify their license is active and in good standing, ask what type of license classification they hold, and understand whether they self-perform work or use subcontractors. Review the contract terms carefully before signing, and confirm in writing what work will be done, the timeline, and payment schedule.
