Services estimated based on license classification. Claimed businesses can customize their service list.

About the C-2 — Insulation & Acoustical License

The C-2 Insulation and Acoustical contractor license covers the installation of insulating and acoustical materials for thermal, sound, and fire protection purposes. This includes installing insulation in walls, attics, and crawl spaces, as well as acoustical ceiling tiles and soundproofing systems. With California's strict energy efficiency requirements (Title 24), C-2 contractors play a vital role in helping homes and businesses meet building codes and reduce energy costs. Proper insulation can significantly lower heating and cooling bills while improving indoor comfort. When hiring a C-2 contractor, ask about R-value recommendations for your climate zone, the types of insulation materials they use, and whether they perform energy audits. Quality insulation work is one of the best investments homeowners can make for long-term energy savings.

About the C-5 — Framing & Rough Carpentry License

The C-5 Framing and Rough Carpentry license covers the structural skeleton of buildings — the framework that everything else is built upon. C-5 contractors install wood and metal framing, roof trusses, sheathing, subflooring, and other structural components. This is one of the most physically demanding and technically important trades in construction, as the quality of framing directly affects a building's structural integrity and safety. In earthquake-prone California, proper framing techniques and seismic considerations are especially critical. C-5 contractors must understand load calculations, building codes, and engineering specifications. When hiring a framing contractor, look for experience with your project type, verify they follow current seismic codes, and ensure they coordinate well with other trades that will follow their work.

About the C-9 — Drywall License

The C-9 Drywall license covers the installation, taping, texturing, and finishing of drywall (also known as sheetrock or gypsum board). Drywall is the standard interior wall and ceiling surface in modern construction, and the quality of its installation directly affects the appearance of a finished room. C-9 contractors handle everything from hanging sheets to applying final textures and finishes. Different projects require different finish levels, from basic garage walls (Level 1-2) to smooth, paint-ready surfaces (Level 4-5). Specialty applications include moisture-resistant board for bathrooms, fire-rated assemblies, and soundproof installations. When hiring a C-9 contractor, specify the finish level you expect, discuss texture options, and ask about their process for minimizing dust. Quality drywall work is essential for a professional-looking final result.
