Home Repair Agent · California
Check contractors' California license records before you hire.
Tell us what needs repair and where. We read the official California contractor records for licensed businesses near you and show what each record says, with sources and dates.
Contractor research is available free during launch: up to 3 reports per account every 30 days, with no purchase or subscription. An optional one-time purchase, Project Guard ($39 for one home project, no renewal), is described in Service and Pricing. It covers contractors licensed by the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB). It is not a verified provider network or a quality ranking.
About to sign or pay a contractor?
Check the quote first: the deposit limit ($1,000 or 10%, whichever is less), cash demands, payments ahead of the work, the notices a California contract must contain, and whether the license number belongs to the business on the quote. Paste several bids and we compare them. How the quote check works · Deposit calculator · 中文：签约付款前先查一查
What each report checks
Each report reads the public CSLB records of licensed businesses whose address of record is near the California city or ZIP code you give. For each business it shows the license status, whether it holds the license class your job needs, its bond, workers' compensation coverage or exemption, LLC liability insurance where required, and complaint or legal-action disclosures, with the source and the time the record was read. Each report also states what was not checked, including reviews, experience with similar repairs, availability, and who would perform the work. Records can change after we read them, and CSLB may not have entered every recent event.
Contractors are grouped as meeting the basic license checks for your job, needing review before hiring, or not suitable for this job, and listed by distance. A business whose live CSLB record could not be read during the research is listed separately as not checked. No one pays for placement. A license, bond, or clean record does not prove the quality of anyone's work, and we do not guarantee provider availability, suitability, or the quality of a provider's work.
Your choice of provider
You independently contact, choose, contract with, and pay any repair provider. Our service is limited to researching public contractor information; it does not perform repair work, contact contractors, or act on your behalf.
Anyone, including a contractor named in a report, can ask us to correct our information free of charge with the correction form at app.acostekai.com or at [email protected]. A reviewer checks the original CSLB record. Payment never changes what a report shows.
