Many contractors fail to notify the Contractors’ State License Board of a change of address or telephone number. This leaves you in a bad position if someone from the CSLB or otherwise, tries to contact you.
Some of the things that contractors do wrong is that they don’t get a written contract. This leaves them at the mercy of the owners.
Sometimes, the contract is not well written, again, leaving the contractors at the mercy of the owners.
Contractors should try to know the person that they are doing work for. If there is a problem and it goes to the Contractors Board, chances are you will lose at the Contractors Board.
Contractors should also make sure that all their changes are in writing.
There are three different types of contracts that are required by the Contractors Board. They are Home Improvement (this is the toughest for contractors), New Residential (usually between contractors and home builders), and Service & Repair (which is for contracts up to $750.00).
Don’t become an unlicensed contractor.
