How to check a license in California
- Search using the license number, the business name, or the name of whoever qualifies the license.[1]
- Confirm the classification reads C-39, the roofing classification, rather than relying on a general "B" license for a single-trade roof job.[2]
- Check that workers' compensation is shown on file; C-39 roofers must carry it whether or not they have employees.[2]
- Review the license's status and any disciplinary history displayed on the same result page.[1]

- No pocket license or photo ID offered when someone arrives to give you a bid in person.[3]

- Pressure to waive or rush past your three-day right to cancel after signing.[4]
Rules that protect you
