Unless you are meeting with the actual contractor, the salesperson is required to hold a current, valid home improvement sales license. The contractor goes through rigorous study & testing by the state of California, however the salesperson does not. A salesperson working for any contractor is required to register & have a background check prior to entering a home or signing a contractor’s contract. Before signing any contracts, please make sure to see the salesperson’s card or the contractor’s license card when they show up for the sales appointment.
