An unlicensed individual proposes a casual, minor shelf repair for a total project price of $975, including all labor, materials and other items. No permit is required, it is not part of or split from a larger project, and no employee will perform or assist with the work. The ad clearly discloses that the person is unlicensed and does not represent the person as a contractor or qualified contractor. Which statement best fits B&P section 7048?
Correct Answer
A) The work may fit the minor-work exemption because the price is less than $1,000 and the limiting conditions are met.
Under sections 7048 and 7027.2, price alone does not establish the exemption. The stated minor work is below $1,000 in total, needs no permit, is not split from a larger undertaking, and uses no employee assistance. Advertising must state the person is unlicensed and must not represent the person as a contractor or qualified contractor. The scenario expressly satisfies those conditions; exactly $1,000 would not be below the threshold. Source: https://www.cslb.ca.gov/Resources/GuidesAndPublications/2026/2026_CSLB_Law_Book.pdf
