Contractor license school
Our original office, in the Baldwin Park Towne Center off Ramona Boulevard. It is the busiest of the seven and the one most San Gabriel Valley contractors end up at.
Contractors in Baldwin Park
The San Gabriel Valley has one of the densest concentrations of small contractors in California — family framing crews, second-generation roofers, painters who have worked the same tract neighborhoods for twenty years. Most of them have the experience the CSLB wants. What they usually do not have is somebody who will sit down and turn that experience into an application that gets approved the first time.
That is what this office does. Bring in whatever documents you have — pay stubs, 1099s, tax returns, letters from the general you worked under — and someone will tell you honestly whether it is enough, and what to go get if it is not.
Everything from picking the right classification to the contracts you use once you are licensed.
Law & Business and your trade exam, taught online with live Q&A every Wednesday. Study from home and come in when you have questions.
Online classesWe complete, check and file your CSLB application and experience verification. Bring what you have and we will tell you what is missing.
Paperwork processingMatching the license to the work you actually bid. Getting this wrong means redoing paperwork and retaking a trade exam.
ClassificationsLLC, corporation, DBA and EIN, set up so they match your license the way the CSLB and the Secretary of State require.
Business registrationHow to write and fill out a California home improvement contract, line by line. The only school in the state that teaches it.
Contracts courseYour logo and colors on a full set of California construction documents, from $395.

It is our original office and the busiest one. All seven do the same work, but if you want the shortest wait or the widest schedule of live workshops, this is usually it.
14510 Baldwin Park Towne Center, Suite B2. Inside the shopping center, not on the street frontage — come into the center and look for our sign.
No. Walk in Monday through Friday, 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. Calling ahead is worth it if you are driving a distance, so we can tell you exactly what to bring.
Your ID, your Social Security number or ITIN, and whatever documents your four years of experience — pay stubs, tax returns, contracts or letters from employers.
No. The courses are online and the paperwork can be handled by phone and email. The office is here for people who would rather do it face to face.
Sí. Todo el equipo es bilingüe y puedes hacer todo el proceso en español — las clases, la aplicación y las preguntas.
