We are a small, growing painting company from Kennesaw, GA. We were told about a General Contractor (Graphite Construction) who was hiring painters to work on some residential new home projects in Atlanta, owned by Brock Built construction. We interviewed with them and agreed to be paid a daily labor rate of $1200 per day for 6 days. (which we are now currently in the process of going to small claims court to recover payment) We are insured and have an LLC, but no business license yet.

I also sent an intent to lien to the builder, since the GC refuses to pay....Read More

I contracted with an entity to do some construction work on my property. (1) While one of the owners has a license under his name, the entity itself does not appear to have a license. Does that comply with CSLB requirements, or does the contracting entity need its own license? (2) Also, I suspect they used subs who are unlicensed. Assuming that's true, would that mean I don't have to pay the GC with whom I contracted? Thanks!...Read More
