30% of Long Beach's C-36 licensees hold more than one classification — most often B General Building Contractor (21%), C-20 Warm-Air Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning Contractor (10%).

Business structure: 46% sole owners, 49% corporations, 5% LLCs; median time licensed 11.7 years.
For plumbers, underwriters focus first on: sewer backup and drain-cleaning work; and gas line work and related fire exposure. See the full coverage guide for plumbing contractors for limits, endorsements and workers' comp rules.
