Aspiring general contractor California experience advice needed, dad is currently a licensed contractor
Hi all, I am looking into getting my general contractors license in California (in the Bay Area specifically). My dad has had a General Contracting license in CA for over 25 year, so I have worked with him on and off throughout my lifetime. I have now been living with them again for the past 4 years while helping him with various projects around their home, as well as some client projects. (Installing a couple windows, sliding glass door, a couple decks, dry wall, siding panels, hard wood flooring, tile, etc) We both feel that I have the experience to start working on getting a general contractors license through the state, but due to poor record keeping, I am a little worried about the work experience portion.
Outside of permits what kind of documentation could we need to put together for the experience portion of the application? Currently I have a record of most of the work that we have done in a Google Sheet, and some in notes on my phone (working on documenting all the work). My dad seems to think that since he is already a contractor and I am related, that we can fill out some paper work under his license to get approved easier.
TL;DR Looking to get into general contracting, dad seems to think bloodline takes into account for it.
