To all friends, family, and loved ones affected by the Palisades and Eaton fires: As you begin the process of rebuilding, please make sure to hire a licensed contractor. Always verify their license number to ensure it’s active and up-to-date. You can easily check this through the California State License Board’s website at [http://www.cslb.ca.gov](http://www.cslb.ca.gov). Remember, it is illegal for a contractor to request a deposit greater than $1,000 when signing a contract, and never pay for work that hasn't been completed. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me.
