Licensed Contractors in Oakland, CA - Page 7

Use this page when you need a Oakland contractor license lookup, a list of licensed general contractors in Oakland, or a fast way to screen specialty subs before bid award. Each profile starts from CSLB license data and adds federal safety, wage, debarment, environmental, and permit records.

These records cover contractors based in Oakland. The list includes general building contractors and specialty trades, with license number, status, primary classification, and federal record count shown before you open a full profile.

Of the 1,717 CSLB-registered contractors in Oakland, 94% hold active licenses and 60 have at least one record in federal databases. For GCs verifying subs, that means a standard CSLB status check is only the first pass; the risk review also needs workers' comp, bond, SAM.gov, OSHA, DOL, EPA, and permit checks.

What to Check for Oakland Contractors

• CSLB License: Confirm Active status (not Suspended, Revoked, or Expired)
• Workers' Comp: Verify current coverage; exempt status means no employees
• Contractor Bond: California requires $25,000 minimum (SB 607, Jan 2023)
• Federal Debarment: Search SAM.gov for exclusion records
• Safety & Wage History: Check OSHA citations and DOL wage violations
