Los Angeles is home to 521 licensed painting contractors (C-33, CSLB September 2026) — #1 in California, about 8% of the 6,533 contractor licenses based here.
Nearby in Los Angeles County: Van Nuys (88), Palmdale (78), Long Beach (67), North Hollywood (62).
21% of Los Angeles's C-33 licensees hold more than one classification — most often B General Building Contractor (18%), C-10 Electrical Contractor (3%). Extra classifications can change how carriers rate your general liability and workers' comp, so list every license class when you quote.
Business structure: 49% sole owners, 48% corporations, 2% LLCs; median time licensed 8.5 years.
For painters, underwriters focus first on: falls from ladders, scaffolds and lifts; and overspray on vehicles, roofs and neighboring property. See the full coverage guide for painting contractors for limits, endorsements and workers' comp rules.
Asena Capital Insurance Services compares multiple markets for Los Angeles 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.
521 active C-33 licenses have a business address in Los Angeles (CSLB, September 2026); 45% carry workers' comp and 51% are filed exempt.
Damage to other people's property during your work is a core GL exposure. Some painting policies add limits or exclusions for spray work, so we check that before you buy.
