Why verification matters
Finish and structural carpentry is easy to fake and expensive to redo. Confirming a real, registered business behind the work is your first defense against a botched job and a vanished contractor.

Statewide— How we verify
Where this list comes from
Every listing here holds an active license we pulled from the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) — the government body that actually issues them — not from self-reported profiles.
We re-check license status against the board weekly and drop listings whose license lapses or is revoked. You can confirm any license number at the source yourself, and our free lookup guides show you exactly how.
Why ContractorRoster
The state board's job ends at the license. Ours starts there.
Framers and finish carpenters control the schedule on every new build. When the regular crew is booked out eight weeks, the project sits. ContractorRoster pulls every active carpentry license in the area — framing, finish, cabinet — and adds phone, email, and website for over 95% of records.
California: California requires all contractors performing work valued over $500 to hold an active CSLB license. The CSLB registry is one of the most comprehensive in the country, with roughly 280,000 active licenses across all trades.

- ✓Finish carpenter sourcing for high-end remodels and custom homes
