How to check a general contractor's license in Carmel

  1. Find the business in the list below, or search all 140 Carmel listings, and open its profile. You want a Clear status and the B classification (a B license can also cover it as part of a multi-trade job).
  2. Re-check the same number on CSLB's Instant License Check the day you sign; our copy is refreshed weekly and 3.6% of Carmel listings here already show a suspension.
  3. Get the bid and contract in writing with the license number on it. If the job tops $1,000 in labor and materials, a licensed general contractor is required by law. See the $1,000 rule.
