When I started my project I knew I needed landscaping and pool building
I have been meeting with PBs who have C-53 licenses (swimming pools) and landscapers who have C-27 licenses (landscaping)
Today I met someone who was referred from neighbors and did a bunch of pools/backyard projects in the neighborhood (I've seen their work and was impressed)
The odd part is the background check only turned up a C-27 landscaping license. I mentioned it during our chat and he said it was ok b/c the subs he uses for the pool portions have proper C-53 licenses
I'm totally new to all this and just want to verify the information (hopefully you guys here at TFP can chime in)
The CSLB tips on selecting a contractor in california say the following:
"Other contractors, such as plumbers or landscapers, should work within their license classification, and cannot be responsible for the overall project. Landscape contractors may contract for a swimming pool, if it is part of a larger landscaping project."
I am doing pool and landscaping. I think that makes this situation totally fine.
I'm not making a mistake with this approach right?
Just trying to avoid a stupid move if I select this contractor and I'm wrong.
Basically I need a double check from someone who knows more than I do.
