What this means

The licence is active: CSLB lists its status as clear. That means no suspension is on file; it does not rate the quality of the work.
It expires in 52 days (Dec 31, 2026). California licences renew every two years; work done after expiry without renewal is unlicensed.
Contractor's bond: $25,000 with Ohio Casualty Insurance Company (The). The bond is there to pay consumers and workers harmed by licence-law violations; it is not liability insurance and it does not guarantee the work. The surety has filed notice to cancel this bond effective Dec 1, 2026; unless a replacement bond is filed, the licence will be suspended on that date.
Workers' comp: Out of State with Out Of State Workers Compensation Insurance, policy through Jan 1, 2027.
