FAQ
Do I really need a written contract?
For most residential home-improvement work California requires a written contract with specific disclosures (B&P §7159). On any sizable job, a written contract is your best protection when scope or payment is later disputed.
Can an unlicensed contractor enforce a contract?
Generally no — B&P §7031 bars an unlicensed contractor from suing for payment and can even force disgorgement of amounts already paid. Correct licensing recitals matter, and we build them in.
