Removed Builders
Contractors removed from the VerifiedADU directory for failing to meet our verification standards.
Removal Criteria
Contractors are removed from VerifiedADU if they fail to meet any of our five verification standards:
- Active License: License expired, suspended, revoked, or canceled
- Contractor Bond: Bond expired or was not renewed
- Workers’ Compensation: Workers’ comp insurance lapsed or was canceled
- Clean Record: Unresolved complaint filed with CSLB or disciplinary action taken
- License Class: License classification changed to one not appropriate for ADU work
We also remove contractors who provide fraudulent information, fail to respond to verification requests, or violate our terms of service.
What We Document
For each removed contractor, we record:
- Business name and license number
- Date removed from directory
- Reason for removal (which verification standard failed)
- Current license status (if available via CSLB)
Removed contractors can be re-listed if they resolve the issue and meet all verification standards again. Re-listing requires re-verification of all credentials.
Dispute a Removal
If you are a builder and believe your business was removed from VerifiedADU in error, contact us immediately at [email protected] with your business name and CSLB license number. We will manually verify your CSLB record within 24 hours. If the removal was caused by a data error, your listing will be restored and the entry removed from this page. You will receive an email confirmation when the issue is resolved.
