California is one of the pricier states for home-improvement labor: permits, insurance, and wage levels all run above the national average. The upside is a deep bench of licensed contractors to choose from, which is exactly where comparing the quotes they send you pays off most. Expect the high end of national ranges, and treat any bid dramatically below market as a red flag.
