General Contracting License in the BayArea

[Alok Jain]

Hi all,

I have been working with many contractors in the bay area and have not had very good experiences with most of them.  The one's i have had good experience with have tripled their pricing or arenot available for many months.  So i thought I would get my GC license.  Can folks share how difficult it is to get a GC license in the bay area (I am in SF).  I currently have 2 units that I want to remodel and have workers I can use.  

I am an engineer by background FYI
