What this means

The licence expired on Oct 31, 2026. An expired licence cannot be used to contract for work in California until it is renewed.
Contractor's bond: $25,000 with American Contractors Indemnity Company. 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 Nov 15, 2026; unless a replacement bond is filed, the licence will be suspended on that date.
Workers' comp: exempt. The contractor has told CSLB it has no employees. If a crew shows up on your job, ask for a current workers' comp certificate; a contractor with employees must carry workers' comp.
