        "text": "When selecting a house addition contractor, ensure they possess a valid California contractor's license, specifically a Class B (General Building Contractor) license, which permits them to oversee projects involving multiple trades. You should also verify they carry comprehensive general liability insurance to protect against property damage or injury, and worker's compensation insurance for their employees. Requesting proof of both licensing and insurance is a critical step to safeguard your project and personal liability.",
