Does not cover

Does not include framing or rough carpentry (see C-5).

Hiring tip

Cabinet and millwork projects should include detailed specifications for materials, finishes, and hardware. Get a written contract that covers delivery timeline, installation, and what happens if materials are damaged. Ask to see samples of previous work.

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.
