Frequently asked questions

How many licensed general contractors are in Los Gatos?

252 active B licenses have a business address in Los Gatos (CSLB, September 2026); 42% carry workers' comp and 54% are filed exempt.

Why does my workers' comp audit charge me for subcontractors?

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.
