31% of Huntington Beach's C-36 licensees hold more than one classification — most often B General Building Contractor (21%), C-10 Electrical Contractor (10%). 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, 47% corporations, 3% LLCs; median time licensed 16.4 years.
For plumbers, underwriters focus first on: service vans with tools, parts and drain equipment; and water damage from failed fittings, supply lines and water heaters. See the full coverage guide for plumbing contractors for limits, endorsements and workers' comp rules.
