Why ProFix in California
ProFix Directory tracks licensed home-services contractors across California, with deepest coverage in Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Jose. California requires a state contractor license through the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) for projects at or above $500, plus separate boards for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Every listing is pulled from public license + business records, so you can shortlist verified pros without trusting a single review-platform score.

How ProFix verifies California pros
Every California contractor on this directory cleared two checks before being published: a phone number in E.164 format with a California-area area code, and a published street address. Beyond that we show what we can corroborate, and only where we can: a license number or state-board lookup when the record carries one — 164,842 California licenses confirmed active against the state board, and appearance across more than one independent public source. Where a listing shows none of those, that means we have not found them — never that the contractor lacks them. We do not run a star-rating system on these pages because we do not hold first-party review data for California. Read the full method on /methodology and our scoring rubric on /trust-score. Suggest a correction or flag a stale listing on /corrections.
