“CSLB license verification is non-negotiable before signing any construction contract in California. Go to CSLB.ca.gov, search by license number, and verify: the license is current and active, the license type matches the scope of work (B-General, C-specialty trade), the insurance and bonding are current, and there are no disciplinary actions. Takes 5 minutes. Do it every time.”

Pro Tip

Request a payment bond on any project over $50,000. A payment bond ensures that subcontractors and material suppliers are paid even if the general contractor defaults. Without a payment bond, you can be required to pay twice for the same work if the GC fails to pay their subs. Payment bonds cost 1–2% of the contract amount — the cheapest insurance available.

+What is the difference between Standard and Limited 203(k)?

Limited 203(k): renovation costs up to $35,000, no structural work allowed, no HUD consultant required, simpler process.
