What must a home-improvement contract include regarding job timelines?

A list of subcontractors involved
Start and finish dates for the job
The payment schedule
A complete description of the work

The correct answer is: Start and finish dates for the job

A home-improvement contract must include start and finish dates for the job to establish a clear timeline for the project. This inclusion is crucial as it helps set expectations for both the contractor and the homeowner regarding the duration of the work. Providing specific dates allows for accountability and ensures that both parties are aligned on when the work is to be completed. It also helps in planning and scheduling further activities related to the home improvement project, making it an essential element of any contract in California's contractor licensing law. The other elements, while important for different reasons, do not specifically address the timeline aspect of the job. The payment schedule, list of subcontractors, and a complete description of the work each serve distinct purposes in the contract, but without defining the job's start and finish dates, there would be ambiguity regarding project duration and completion.
