The United Contractors Association was founded by Contractors, for Contractors.

Our purpose therefore is to further the interest of our members in achieving and maintaining the highest standard of work ethics, professionalism, and business practices. With the support of our membership, we can utilize mass media to help raise public awareness about the ever-growing dangers of allowing non-licensed uninsured individuals into their homes and businesses.

The CSLB is overwhelmed daily from hundreds of complaints filed by unsuspecting consumers that have been ripped off. Most have paid for work that was not completed, or are seeking damages for substandard work by unlicensed individuals, day laborers and underground tradesmen passing themselves off as Licensed Bonded and Insured Contractors. This type of activity causes millions of dollars in damage annually to personal, commercial and residential property.

We are actively seeking ways to assist the CSLB increasing efforts in the use of the S.W.I.F.T program and ‘Hot Tip’ lists. As an Association, we hold that current laws on ‘the books’ which pertain, but are not limited to, cracking down on fraudulent advertising, home improvement scams, hiring day labor without providing required workers comp, using nonexistent license numbers and contracting for work over $500.00, effectively lowering the Industry Standard of quality craftsmanship and fostering a distrust of the Tradesman in general.

As our membership grows, so to will the database of prescreened Licensed Bonded Contractors, making the UCA one of California’s most trusted resources for local Experts in their respective trades.

We also provide, in addition to members listings, the option to have a web page on our site. The UCA is committed to continued education for all of our members, thus keeping them on the leading edge of new law, license requirements and ethical business practices. Vendors whom supply materials and services to our members are welcome to join the Association and make available products and services on which our Industry relies.

It is our fundamental belief that having been mandated by the state of California to pass a test and get a License in order to contract, we are underrepresented by the agency established to regulate us. We intend to change that… one job, one address and one License at a time.
