It is a violation of California Business and Professions (B&P) Code to undertake any home improvement job valued at more than $500 for labor and materials without a state contractor license. Contractors must put their license number in all advertisements. Unlicensed contractors may advertise to do home improvement work valued at less than $500, but must state in their ads that they are not licensed contractors.
