(b) A general building contractor may take a prime contract or a subcontract for a framing or carpentry project.

A general building contractor shall not take a subcontract involving trades other than framing or carpentry, unless the subcontract requires at least two unrelated trades or crafts other than framing or carpentry, or unless the general building contractor holds the appropriate license classification.

  C-53 Swim pool license, Let it be known that Mr. Perez qualified for and had obtained a C-53 license a few years ago however, due to the fact that it is nearly impossible to obtain bonding as a C-53 contractor Mr. Perez voluntarily disassociated the C-53 license as you are able to see on the lower portion of the CSLB web page (license search) we are posting this blog to inform our customers that we are 100% qualified to design, Investigate, manage construction and inspect swim pools and spas. 

We must make this notice public because of the fact that we assist contractors defending their legal rights against abuse of due process by certain governmental agencies and the CSLB routinely investigates our websites and blogs and has recently violated us for advertising the C-53 even though we did not advertise it to contract or build but specifically for inspections we were still violated, we still desire our clients to understand that we are 100% C-53 qualified and we were at one time fully licensed to build, however we no longer contract to build, repair or contract pools. 

Please note that CCS has good friends in the industry that are C-53 licensed which we are able to refer you FREE of charge!  Please understand we have 5 license classifications and 1 (C-53) that we had voluntarily disassociated, it was not revoked or suspended but willfully taken off for financial reasons, we are currently negotiating with our bond co. to re-activate it but not use it for construction. 

Please disregard any old advertising as legally invalid to build, repair and or contract pools or spas if you find any of our old blogs which may advertise C-53 Pools please inform us so we can remove them before the CSLB violates us again.
