Hiring tip

Electrical work in California requires a permit for most projects beyond simple fixture replacements. Verify the contractor pulls permits and that all work will be inspected. Ask whether their electricians hold current state certification as required by California Labor Code.

California law requires a contractor license for this type of work on projects valued at $500 or more (combined labor and materials). Hiring an unlicensed contractor for work requiring a license may void your consumer protections.
