Resources and Tips for Selecting and Working with Contractors and Other Vendors During Your Rebuild
Unscrupulous, unlicensed contractors often prey on victims of natural disasters. It is a felony to contract without a license in a declared disaster area. Consumers can protect themselves by using CSLB’s resources to check a contractor’s license status and history. Below you will find links to a number of resources to help with this.
The City of Santa Rosa and Sonoma County are not approving or recommending specific contractors for fire-related recovery efforts. Licensed contractors are registered with the State Licensing Board, and members of the public can find details about these contractors at http://www.cslb.ca.gov/ or by calling 800-321-2752. Contractors who are not yet listed on the Licensing Board’s website can contact the Board to be added.
