For Consumers: Who Ya Gonna Call?
Ridgecrest contractors referral service exists so you can easily locate local contractors right here in Ridgecrest that are experienced, licensed, bonded and have insurance for your protection.
The Information you'll find here is directly from the California State License Board website. You can check out your contractor here for the most up to date information (and we suggest you do!) Information changes daily on their site and ours is only updated quarterly.
The State of California requires that any construction or repair in excess of $500.00 requires that the contractor be licensed, bonded and that they carry workers compensation insurance if they have employees. If the contractor doesn't have Workers Compensation and an employee gets hurt at your house, guess who's liable!
It is illegal for an unlicensed person to perform contracting work on any project valued at $500 or more in labor and materials. Besides being illegal, unlicensed contractors lack accountability and have a high rate of involvement in construction scams. They also are unfair competition for licensed contractors who operate with bonds, insurance and other responsible business practices.
If you have a complaint about unlicensed activity or you feel like you've been scammed, reporting to the contractors board is as simple as clicking here.
We hope you find this site helpful and informative. Construction in your home can be invasive, dirty and inconvenient, but if you find the right contractor, you can minimize that frustration and hopefully you'll find the experience as good as your dreams imagined.
