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.
Site prep, grading, and trenching subs need weeks of scheduling notice, and the crews with capacity change month to month. ContractorRoster delivers every active excavating license with phone, email, and website — call ten, compare scheduling, lock the right crew.
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.
Use cases
- ✓New-build site prep when your usual excavator is booked
- ✓Grading and dirt-work outreach for residential developers
- ✓Demolition-prep sourcing for commercial tenant improvements
- ✓Heavy equipment dealer, rental yard, or fuel-supplier territory planning
