The Handy Hatts Painting And Decorating CO
The Handy Hatts Painting And Decorating CO holds California contractor licence 888736 (Painting and Decorating) in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles County. Status: Suspended · expires Dec 31, 2026.
What this means
- The licence is suspended because the contractor's bond was cancelled and no replacement bond is on file. A suspended licence cannot be used to contract for work until CSLB lifts the suspension.
- It expires in 54 days (Dec 31, 2026). California licences renew every two years; work done after expiry without renewal is unlicensed.
- Contractor's bond: $25,000 with Merchants Bonding Company (Mutual). 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 bond on file shows a cancellation date of Oct 19, 2026.
- 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.
