Handyman Insurance, B&P Code requires contractors to include their license number in all advertisements.
Saturday, Nov. 5th 2016 6:17 AM
Those without licenses are permitted to do work valued at less than $500, but must state that they are not licensed in their ads. B&P Code also prohibits contractors from soliciting a down payment greater than 10 percent of the total contract price or $1,000, whichever is less. There is an exception to the down payment provision for about two dozen contractors who purchase special consumer protection bonds and are noted on the CSLB website.
