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 23 days (Nov 30, 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 Dec 14, 2025.
Workers' comp: Workers' Compensation Insurance with American Casualty Company Of Reading Pa, policy through Nov 12, 2026.
