Project Limits
Last updated: August 13, 2026
License Status
Trusty Rusty is not licensed by the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB).
A call, text, estimate request, or website form submission does not mean a project has been accepted. Rusty reviews the full scope before agreeing to the work.
Projects That Can Be Considered
Work is limited to casual, minor, or inconsequential work when the aggregate price for labor, materials, and all other items is less than $1,000, the project does not require a building permit, no employee or helper performs or assists with the work, the work is not part of a larger project, and the project is not divided to avoid licensing requirements.
- The complete project total must be less than $1,000.
- The work must not require a building permit.
- No employee, helper, or additional worker can perform or assist with the work.
- The work cannot be part of a larger project.
- A larger project cannot be divided into smaller jobs to fit these limits.
Manual Review
If the total cost, permit status, safety condition, or project scope is uncertain, Rusty will review the request before confirming whether the work can be accepted. Projects outside these limits will be declined or referred to an appropriately licensed professional.
Official California Information
See California Business and Professions Code section 7027.2 and the CSLB minor-work bulletin.
