What Makes San Luis Obispo Different
San Luis Obispo County has mild weather, dry summers and wet winters that can bring several strong storms in a row. San Luis Obispo Creek runs through downtown, and it and other coastal creeks can rise fast in heavy rain. Know how water drains past your home, and keep gutters and yard drains clear before the rainy season.
Along the coast, fog and damp air keep homes in Morro Bay, Los Osos and Pismo Beach cool and humid for much of the year. Bathrooms, closets on outside walls and crawlspaces can grow mold when air does not move. Run bath fans, open closets and use a dehumidifier in rooms that always feel damp.
Wildfire in the hills can send smoke across the county, and smoke leaves soot and odor in fabrics and ducts. Many older homes here were built long before 1978, so test for lead paint and asbestos before you sand, scrape or tear anything out.

Checking a License in San Luis Obispo
California requires a license from the Contractors State License Board for most home repair work. Look up any company’s license number on the board’s website before you sign, and check that it is active and bonded and that workers compensation insurance is on file. California has no separate state mold license, so ask whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage and mold remediation. Asbestos work needs its own certification, so ask about it by name when a job may disturb older materials.
