The Best Contractors in California 2019 is a list of contractors who maintained good payment practices and processes with few reported payment issues in 2019. These are both large and small contractors in California who were active throughout 2019 on a range of residential, commercial, and government jobs.
These award-winning contractors had few to no reported slow payment issues from sub-tier parties such as subcontractors or suppliers. This means subcontractors and suppliers generally were paid on time and did not report slow payment through filing a lien, sending a notice of intent to lien, or other demands for payment.On-time payment and fast payment helps everyone on the job. Good payment practices:
Reduce the risk of a lien for property owners
Help general contractors maintain good relationships with property owners and sub-tier parties
Help subcontractors and suppliers improve cash balances to take on more jobs
The Best Contractor Awards are awarded to contractors in each state based on number of jobs, instances of reported slow payment, and maintaining a good contractor payment score.

Slow pay
Recent Review
They have not paid for numerous projects completed in over two years. They have numerous paperwork excuses to not pay; especially PO #s. There field men ask for emergency work but do not have po#'s to provide and do not provide after completion of job. Accounting does not collaborate with site contacts or PM's to issue payments.
