What is typically required to legally operate as a C-35 plastering contractor in California?

• A. Possession of a C-35 license, required bonds and insurance, and compliance with state laws.
• B. Possession of a C-35 license only, with no bonds or insurance.
• C. No license required for plastering work if you have five years experience.
• D. A general business license is enough to operate.

Answer: (A)

To operate legally as a C-35 plastering contractor in California, you must have a valid C-35 license from the Contractors State License Board, and you must show the required bond and insurance, plus comply with state laws. The license confirms you’re qualified to perform plastering work and to bid on contracts in this specialty. The bond provides financial protection for clients if you don’t complete work or meet obligations, and the insurance (including workers’ comp if you have employees and general liability) protects against damage or injury arising from your work. Merely holding a general business license or having years of experience isn’t enough; without the proper license, bond, and insurance, you aren’t legally authorized to contract plastering work in California.
