15% of Chula Vista's C-33 licensees hold more than one classification — most often B General Building Contractor (10%), D-12 D12 (2%). Extra classifications can change how carriers rate your general liability and workers' comp, so list every license class when you quote.
Business structure: 45% sole owners, 53% corporations, 1% LLCs; median time licensed 8.5 years.
For painters, underwriters focus first on: fire from solvents and rags; and pickups and vans carrying sprayers and materials. See the full coverage guide for painting contractors for limits, endorsements and workers' comp rules.
