Frequently asked questions
How many licensed general contractors are in Cupertino?
117 active B licenses have a business address in Cupertino (CSLB, September 2026); 38% carry workers' comp and 60% are filed exempt.

If a sub cannot prove its own workers' comp coverage, carriers typically add that sub's payroll to your policy at audit. Collecting current certificates from every sub is the simplest protection.
