Electrical in California
Electrical work needs a licensed professional and is often permitted and inspected. On GroundBid, licensed electricians send private bids, so you can compare scope, timing and price. GroundBid is open to homeowners and businesses across California.
What's typically included
Panel upgrades, new circuits and outlets, lighting, ceiling fans, EV charger installation, generators and wiring repairs.
What to include in your project post
List what you want installed or fixed, the size and age of the electrical panel if you know it, and where in the home the work is. For EV chargers, include the charger model and where you park.
Checking a provider in California
On GroundBid, electrical is a licensed trade: a provider must have a verified state license before they can bid.
You can also check a contractor's license yourself with the Contractors State License Board (CSLB): official license lookup · 800-321-2752. California licenses contractors statewide through the CSLB. Its lookup shows a contractor's license status, classifications, bond, workers' compensation, personnel and any discipline.
Licensing and permit rules can change and vary by city and county. This is general information, not legal advice; confirm with the licensing board or your local building department. License lookups for every state →
How GroundBid works
Describe the project with photos, choose how long bidding stays open, and verified providers send private, sealed bids that other providers can't see. Compare them, accept the one you want, and your payment is held until you confirm the work is complete. How sealed bidding works →
