ABOUT CONTRACTORS LICENSING CENTER
Our History
For over 40 years, Contractors Licensing Center’s principal, Phil Vermeulen, has been working closely on behalf of contractors statewide. The third-generation son and grandson of general contractors within the San Francisco Bay Area, Phil has lived and worked in the construction industry his entire life. In 1981, he became Technical Director for the California Association of Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association (Cal SMACNA), a statewide trade association that represents the interests of its members before the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB), the California State Legislature and virtually every other regulatory agency whose actions impact contractors. He then grew within the association becoming the Director of Governmental Relations and ultimately their Executive Director.
Phil has literally attended and actively participated in most CSLB Board and committee meetings since 1981. In addition, his other firm, Philip M. Vermeulen Governmental Relations (www.pvgov.com), which has been in business since November of 1994, has represented a cross-section of contractor associations statewide whose members total over 35,000 contractors. Phil has worked closely with the CSLB and the Legislature to effect changes in the contractor license laws throughout the years that strengthen both the laws and penalties against unlicensed contractors and to assist the legitimate contractors as much as possible. His knowledge and political influence are sought by many contractors, legislators and regulators on a continual basis. In fact, see him in action before a recent Contractors State License Board meeting at https://youtu.be/-CUY3uDQfCM?t=1891
