Insurance and Bonding
##############################################
Southern
California Insurance Brokerage, Inc. (SCIB) is not only
our insurance agent for both C and D Acoustics and
TheContractorsGroup.com, they have become our friends.
SCIB was my first advertiser and my first renewal! They
have supported me and our website since day one. On the
construction side, the speed with which they issue our
certificates is terrific, and every certificate has been
issued correctly the first time! How many times have you
had to ask your insurance agent to redo a certificate for
you? When using insurance companies I had prior to SCIB,
obtaining accurate certificates on a timely basis was a
problem, but since I have signed with SCIB, our problems
with paperwork have become non-existent. Please contact
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA INSURANCE BROKERAGE, INC. for your
insurance and bonding needs. If you would like one of
their business cards to put in your business card file,
please click here for a printable SCIB business e*card
(it actually prints in the size of a standard business
card!). Then you will have their information when you are
ready to purchase your next insurance policy and/or bond!
While you are viewing their business e*card online, you
will have the option of clicking through to visit their
website and/or you will be able to send them an email
directly from their e*card. Tell 'em I said
hi!

5. Contractor's Corner
##########################################
Send me
your questions to be featured in Contractor's
Corner!
This
month, from Chris Conlee:
The
California State License Board newsletter (California
Licensed Contractor
Issue Summer 2001) says that a law passed last
year (SB2029)
will require contractors to provide a Commercial
General Liability
Insurance information sheet and a consumer checklist
to all
homeowner clients with every estimate and contract,
beginning October
1, 2001. Can't find out anything about this at
their website.
Are you familiar with this requirement?
Thank
you Chris for sending me your question! I contacted
the CSLB
and I received the following response from
Ellen:
=====
Thanks for your message. The two SB 2029 notices were
created by regulation.
The regulatory process is complicated. The
notices are
still winding their way through the process. I think they
go to
the Office of Administrative Law this week. If OAL
doesn't have
a problem with them they should be filed with the
Secretary of
State's Office about 30 days from now. All
contractors performing
home improvement will be required to provide
these notices
3 months from the day the notices are filed with
the Secretary
of State. I will post them on my website when
they are
approved.
=====
Thank
you Ellen! To all my readers: I will try to keep
you updated
and once the forms are available, I will post them at
my site.

8. Contractors outside California
##########################################
** Hey to all of you
outside of California! How are you?? I really want to be
able to address your needs and concerns.
I would
greatly appreciate any assistance from anyone who would
like to
provide me with forms that I can create online and/or
news items
and/or changed laws and regulations, etc. If I am able
to use
something that you provide me, I will be happy to credit
you and/or
your company and provide you with some free advertising
in return.
That goes for contractors within California too!
There
is no way I could
ever cover anything and everything that might
be going
on at any given time, but with your help I can make
a difference
(oh how corny!), together I can keep all
contractors
informed (there,
that's better). :)
