Berger Modular has held a CSLB class-B licence for 9 years (since 2017). Mid-tenure — established but not pre-state-preemption-era.

Business structure: Sole Owner. Sole-proprietor contractors carry personal liability for the work. Lien-recovery and CSLB-arbitration outcomes attach to the individual rather than a separate corporate entity.

Contractor's bond posted: $25,000 — the California statutory minimum for class-B contractors. Standard for the industry.

Workers' compensation coverage: Workers' Compensation Insurance. Required California coverage for contractors with W-2 employees. Verify the certificate of insurance directly with the carrier before contract signing — California has tightened WC-coverage enforcement post-2022.

What a CSLB class-B licence covers

A California class-B (General Building) contractor licence authorises the holder to take on building projects requiring at least two unrelated trades — framing + electrical, or concrete + plumbing + framing, etc. Almost all ADU work qualifies because an ADU is by definition a complete dwelling and requires multiple trades. A single-trade contractor (class C-10 electrical, C-36 plumbing, etc.) cannot prime an ADU project as general; they must subcontract under a B-licensed prime, or the homeowner must act as their own owner-builder.

This is a necessary condition, not a sufficient one. ADU construction has specific code requirements (Title 24 energy compliance, fire sprinklers in most jurisdictions, soils reports on sloped lots, accessibility provisions for JADUs) that not every B-licensed contractor has experience with. Ask for at least three completed ADU project references before committing.
