Hiring tip

Asbestos abatement is heavily regulated by Cal/OSHA and the EPA. The contractor must be certified for asbestos removal and must follow strict containment and disposal procedures. Verify their DOSH registration is current.

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.
