What CSLB has on file for license #972962.
Every field below is quoted from the Contractors State License Board's public record as it read on July 6, 2026 — re-checked at each data refresh. Licenses change; verify the live record before hiring.
- License number
- 972962The number to type into CSLB's Check-A-License tool — always confirm against the state's live record, not any directory (including this one).
- Registered business name
- 1ST CHOICE INVESTMENT BUILDERS INC dba 1ST CHOICE PLUMBING HEATING AND AIRThe legal name on file with the state is "1ST CHOICE INVESTMENT BUILDERS INC" — the plumbing brand you see in ads is its registered "doing business as" (DBA) name. Different marketing name, same license.
- Classification
- C-36 PlumbingC-36 is California's specialty classification for plumbing — the license class a contractor needs to take plumbing jobs.
- Status
- “This license is current and active.”CSLB's own wording for whether this contractor may legally take work today, as shown on July 6, 2026.
- Issued
- May 16, 2012 — licensed since 2012How long this license number has existed, per CSLB. It tells you the license's age, not how good the work is.
- Expires
- June 30, 2027California contractor licenses renew on a cycle. A contractor cannot legally contract on an expired license.
- Contractor bond
- On fileA contractor bond gives homeowners a path to compensation if the contractor violates license law — CSLB shows whether one is currently on file.
- Workers' comp
- Exempt — certified no employees, effective January 6, 2026This contractor certified to the state that it has no employees, so it isn't required to carry workers' compensation insurance. That's legal and common for owner-operators — just confirm who will actually be on your property, because an uninsured helper's injury can become the homeowner's problem.

← Back to the ranked Oceanside plumber listCoastal SD Pros is an independent directory and lead-referral service, not a licensed plumbing contractor, and does not perform plumbing work. This profile compiles public data: CSLB license records (checked July 6, 2026) and Google business data (June 20, 2026), each attributed and dated. It is not an endorsement, and "license verified" describes the record check only — never workmanship. Sponsored placements are paid advertising and are labelled as such; none are currently sponsored.
