What to do if a contractor does a bad job in California?

If the contractor has caused you damage, you should consider getting in the first punch, by filing complaint with the California Contractor's Licensing Board. Or you can file a lawsuit. If the amuont of the dispute is less than $10000 you can file yourself in small claims court.

What recourse does a homeowner have against a contractor?

The court could order your contractor to finish or correct the work or compensate you for your losses. Otherwise, you could file a claim against your contractor's insurance. However, a contractor's general liability insurance likely won't cover faulty work claims unless someone is injured from the unfulfilled contract.
