California Contractor License
#865080
License Type: C-28 (Lock & Security Equipment) / General Contractor
California Contractor's License
The California Contractor's State License Board (CSLB) is one of the most rigorous contractor licensing systems in the nation. To obtain and maintain a California contractor's license, contractors must pass written examinations covering trade knowledge, business management, and law; demonstrate financial responsibility; and carry appropriate insurance. License records are publicly searchable on the CSLB website.
Hiring an unlicensed contractor in California carries significant legal and financial risks. If an unlicensed worker is injured on your property, you may be liable. Unlicensed contractors are not subject to CSLB oversight or bond requirements. If the work is done improperly, you have limited legal recourse. Avaunt Garage Doors' license status can be verified at cslb.ca.gov at any time.
Our license has been continuously maintained since the founding of Avaunt in 2003. We have never had a complaint, disciplinary action, or suspension on our license. This clean record reflects our consistent adherence to California contracting law and ethical business practices.

International Door Association
IDEA Accredited
IDA Dealer/Installer Excellence Award Program
IDEA Accreditation
The International Door Association (IDA) is the primary trade association for the garage door industry in North America. The IDA Dealer/Installer Excellence Award (IDEA) program is a professional accreditation that recognizes companies that demonstrate a commitment to professional excellence, safety, and continuing education.
Earning and maintaining IDEA Accreditation requires completing IDA-approved training programs, staying current on safety standards (including UL 325 safety requirements), and adhering to the IDA Code of Ethics. It is a voluntary credential that goes above and beyond the minimum requirements of state licensing.
When you see the IDEA Accreditation designation, it means your garage door contractor has invested in their education and professional development — and that investment directly benefits the quality of work you receive.
Insurance & Bonding
Avaunt Garage Doors Inc. maintains comprehensive insurance coverage and a California contractor's bond. Here is what that means for you as a homeowner:
General Liability Insurance
Protects you if our work causes damage to your property. If something goes wrong — for example, a door falls and damages your vehicle or property — our liability coverage handles it.
Workers' Compensation
Covers our workers if they are injured on your property. Without this coverage, a worker injured at your home could potentially seek compensation from you as the property owner.
Contractor's Bond
California requires licensed contractors to maintain a surety bond. This bond protects you if the contractor fails to complete the project as agreed or engages in fraud or illegal conduct.

Why Credentials Matter When Hiring a Garage Door Contractor
The garage door industry has a low barrier to entry compared to other trades. This means there are many individuals and companies operating without proper licensing, insurance, or training. While unlicensed work may appear to save money upfront, the risks and potential costs are significant:
- ✓Unlicensed work can void your homeowner's insurance for related claims.
- ✓Improperly installed springs and cables are among the most dangerous home hazards — professional installation is not optional.
- ✓Unlicensed contractors have no accountability if they leave the job incomplete or disappear after taking a deposit.
- ✓California law requires permits for some garage door installations — unlicensed contractors often skip this step, creating problems at resale.
Choosing Avaunt Garage Doors means choosing a contractor with a clean licensing record, professional accreditation, and more than two decades of proven experience in South Orange County. We believe you deserve to hire with complete confidence.
