Hiring tip

Building moving and demolition requires specialized permits and may involve asbestos or lead paint abatement. Verify the contractor carries adequate liability insurance and has experience with local permitting requirements.

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.
