Certa Engineering
Certa Engineering holds California contractor licence 980022 (General Engineering, General Building, Concrete, Building Moving and Demolition) in Oakland, Alameda County. Status: Suspended · expires Jan 31, 2027.
What this means
- The licence is suspended because the workers' compensation policy lapsed with no replacement or exemption on file. A suspended licence cannot be used to contract for work until CSLB lifts the suspension.
- It expires in 85 days (Jan 31, 2027). California licences renew every two years; work done after expiry without renewal is unlicensed.
- Contractor's bond: $25,000 with Atlantic Specialty Insurance 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.
