39% of Irvine's C-33 licensees hold more than one classification — most often B General Building Contractor (30%), C-54 Ceramic and Mosaic Tile 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: 41% sole owners, 47% corporations, 9% LLCs; median time licensed 17.5 years.
For painters, underwriters focus first on: damage to floors, fixtures and finishes inside occupied homes; and fire from solvents and rags. See the full coverage guide for painting contractors for limits, endorsements and workers' comp rules.
