Data Accuracy
Prelien provides publicly available contractor licensing data sourced from the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB). While we make reasonable efforts to keep this information current through regular data refreshes, contractor license status, bond information, and workers' compensation coverage can change at any time.
The information on Prelien is provided for general reference purposes only. Changes to a contractor's licensing status may occur between our scheduled data refreshes. Users should verify current license status directly with the CSLB before making contracting or hiring decisions. The CSLB Instant License Check is available at www.cslb.ca.gov.
Not Legal Advice
Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice. Prelien's compliance guides, deadline references, and educational content are provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for consultation with a licensed California attorney. Construction lien law is complex and fact-specific. Your rights and obligations depend on the particular circumstances of your project, contract, and role.
No Affiliation with CSLB
Prelien is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Contractors State License Board, the California Department of Consumer Affairs, or the State of California. CSLB is the authoritative source of contractor licensing information in California.
Compliance Health Status
The compliance health status displayed on contractor profiles (Verified, Review, or Alert) is an automated summary based on publicly available CSLB data fields. It is not a credit score, quality rating, financial assessment, or endorsement. It should not be the sole basis for any contracting or business decision. See our methodology page for a full description of how compliance health statuses are determined.
No Warranty
Prelien makes no warranty, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of the information presented on this site. Use of this site is at your own risk.
Limitation of Liability
In no event shall Prelien, its owners, employees, or affiliates be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use of or reliance on any information published on this website.
