30% report a workers' comp exemption, 8.6 points lower than the statewide figure for drywall contractors (38.6%), so many of these businesses say they have no employees. The share with a suspension, 5%, is 2.6 points higher than the Alameda County rate for the same license (2.4%).

3 of these licenses are less than a year old, while 35% have been held for 10 years or more. The median is 4.9 years.

In California this work generally calls for the C-9 Drywall Contractor license (or a B license when it is part of a larger multi-trade job). See the C-9 Drywall Contractor guide for what the license covers.

How to check a drywall contractor's license in Oakland

  1. Look the company up by name or license number (search Oakland). On the profile, confirm three things: Clear status, the C-9 license for this kind of work, and a contractor's bond on file.
  2. Re-check the same number on CSLB's Instant License Check the day you sign; our copy is refreshed weekly and 5% of Oakland listings here already show a suspension.
  3. Match the license holder's name to the name on the written contract and the person you meet. Ask for proof of workers' comp if anyone besides the owner will work on site. Hiring checklist.
