<br />“State law requires anyone who contracts to do construction work to be licensed by the Contractors State License Board in the license category
<br />in which the contractor is going to be working - if the total price of the job is $500.00 or more (including labor and materials). Licensed
<br />contractors are regulated by laws designed to protect the public. If you contract with someone who does not have a license, the Contractors
<br />State License Board may be unable to assist you with a complaint. Your only remedy against an unlicensed contractor may be in civil court,
<br />and you may be liable for damages arising out of any injuries to the contractor or his or her employees. You may contact the Contractors State
<br />License Board to find out if this contractor has a valid license. The Board has complete information on the history of licensed contractors,
<br />including any possible suspensions, revocations, judgments, and citations. The Board has offices throughout California. Please check the
<br />government pages of the White Pages for the office nearest you or call 1-800-321-CSLB for more information.”
<br />“Contractors are required by law to be licensed and regulated by the Contractors State License Board, which has jurisdiction to investigate
<br />complaints against contractors if a complaint regarding a patent act or omission is filed within four years of the date of the alleged violation. A
<br />complaint regarding a latent act or omission pertaining to structural defects must be filed within 10 years of the date of alleged violation. Any
<br />questions concerning the contractor may be referred to the Registrar, Contractors State License Board, Post Office Box 26000,Sacramento CA
<br />95826.”
<br />MECHANICS LIEN WARNING
<br />Anyone who helps improve your property, but who is not paid, may record what is called a mechanics’ lien on your property. A mechanics’
<br />lien is a claim, like a mortgage or home equity loan, made against your property and recorded with the county recorder. Even if you pay your
<br />contractor in full, unpaid subcontractors, suppliers, and laborers who helped to improve your property may record mechanics’ liens and sue
<br />you in court to foreclose the lien. If a court finds the lien is valid, you could be forced to pay twice or have a court officer sell your home to
<br />pay the lien. Liens can also affect your credit. To preserve their right to record a lien, each subcontractor and material supplier must provide
<br />you with a document called a ‘20-day Preliminary Notice.’ This notice is not a lien. The purpose of the notice is to let you know that the
<br />person who sends you the notice has the right to record a lien on your property if he or she is not paid. BE CAREFUL. The Preliminary Notice
<br />can be sent up to 20 days after the subcontractor starts work or the supplier provides material. This can be a big problem if you pay your
<br />contractor before you have received the Preliminary Notices. You will not get Preliminary Notices from your prime contractor or from laborers
<br />who work on your project. The law assumes that you already know they are improving your property. PROTECT YOURSELF FROM LIENS.
<br />You can protect yourself from liens by getting a list from your contractor of all the subcontractors and material suppliers that work on your
<br />project. Find out from your contractor when these subcontractors started work and when these suppliers delivered goods or materials. Then
<br />wait 20 days, paying attention to the Preliminary Notices you receive. PAY WITH JOINT CHECKS. One way to protect yourself is to pay
<br />with a joint check. When your contractor tells you that it is time to pay for the work of a subcontractor or supplier who has provided you with a
<br />Preliminary Notice, write a joint check payable to both the contractor and the subcontractor or material supplier. For other ways to prevent
<br />liens, visit CSLB’s website at www.cslb.ca.gov or call CSLB at 1-800-321-CSLB (2752). Remember, if you do nothing, you risk having a lien
<br />placed on your home. This can mean that you may have to pay twice or face the forced sale of your home to pay what you owe.”
