17% of Santa Ana's C-33 licensees hold more than one classification — most often B General Building Contractor (9%), D-12 D12 (4%). Extra classifications can change how carriers rate your general liability and workers' comp, so list every license class when you quote.

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.
