Does not cover

Does not include ceramic tile (see C-54).

Hiring tip

Flooring installation quality depends heavily on subfloor preparation. Ask the contractor about moisture testing, subfloor leveling, and acclimation time for materials. Get material warranties in writing separate from the labor warranty.

A California contractor license is generally required when a project costs $1,000 or more in combined labor and materials, requires a building permit, or uses additional workers. Small jobs cannot be split from a larger project to qualify for the exemption. Read the CSLB requirements.
