How to check a painter's license in South Lake Tahoe

  1. Look the company up by name or license number (search South Lake Tahoe). On the profile, confirm three things: Clear status, the C-33 license for this kind of work, and a contractor's bond on file.
  2. Before any money changes hands, verify the license on CSLB's own lookup. Our data comes from CSLB's weekly file, so a very recent change may not show here yet.
  3. Match the license holder's name to the name on the written contract and the person you meet. Since 72.5% of South Lake Tahoe painters claim a workers' comp exemption, ask who will actually do the work. Hiring checklist.
