Long Beach is home to 685 licensed general contractors (B, CSLB September 2026) — #14 in California, about 47% of the 1,444 contractor licenses based here.
Nearby in Los Angeles County: Los Angeles (3,498), Woodland Hills (688), Glendale (554), Van Nuys (529).
26% of Long Beach's B licensees hold more than one classification — most often C-10 Electrical Contractor (8%), A General Engineering Contractor (6%). Extra classifications can change how carriers rate your general liability and workers' comp, so list every license class when you quote.
Business structure: 51% sole owners, 45% corporations, 4% LLCs; median time licensed 17.1 years.
For general contractors, underwriters focus first on: uninsured or underinsured subcontractors becoming the GC's responsibility at audit or after a claim; and third-party injuries on job sites. See the full coverage guide for general contractors for limits, endorsements and workers' comp rules.
Asena Capital Insurance Services compares multiple markets for Long Beach contractors and requests additional insured endorsements for you when a contract calls for them. Call (858) 925-9555 or request a quote — only your name, phone and email are required. CA License #6008596.
