- Why do I need to hire a Licensed Thermocrete Installer?
A. Thermocrete is a "Ceramic Flue Sealant", requires a
Masonry Classification "C29" on License from Contractor's State Lic. Board
B. Thermocrete Ceramic Flue Sealant can only be installed by a factory
trained technician.
2. How do I know if my contractor is properly licensed and insured to install
Thermocrete Ceramic Flue Sealant?
A. Verify they have a "C29" Masonry Classification on their License. You can verify
this by going to CSLB's website. And, call Thermocrete to confirm technicians training:
https://www2.cslb.ca.gov/OnlineServices/CheckLicense/LicenseRequest.asp
B. Request proof of Licensing (Pocket
License references Contractor's Company Name,
& Classifications ie: C29 / D34) & Proof of Worker's Comp Insurance &
General Liability Ins.
If your roof is higher than 20 feet, be sure to receive proof the contractor's Worker's
Compensation Insurance does "not" restrict them from being on your roof higher than
20 feet. Protect yourself and your home.
C. Ask them if they will be pulling
the permit. Cities do their due diligence to ensure
contractor's have
the proper classifications on their license prior to
approving a permit
for installation. A contractor not properly
licensed will refer you to pull the permit.
D. Still not sure, we recommend
calling the Contractor's State License Board directly
(800)321-2752 or
Fax request to: (916) 255-4535
3. Why not just go with an Unlicensed or Uninsured Contractor?
A. Risks: Unlicensed contractor's do not carry the proper license or insurance and are
not bonded as required by California. This may prevent you from any recourse if the
contractor does not complete the project and/or their work is not up to par.
B. If an uninsured contractor is injured and/or damages your property, you may be liable.
Your "Homeowner's Insurance" may deny your claim and they may refer you to the
contractor's Worker's Comp Insurance or their General Liability Insurance, which they
will not have. Therefore, repair of damages and/or a hospital bill may be your responsibility.
