1. Does your contractor have a valid license?

It is important to hire licensed contractors for several reasons:

1. Legal compliance: Licensed contractors are required to comply with the laws and regulations of their industry, including building codes, safety standards, and other legal requirements. By hiring a licensed contractor, you can be confident that the work will be performed in compliance with these regulations, reducing the risk of legal issues and fines.
2. Quality assurance: Licensed contractors have typically undergone training and testing to demonstrate their expertise and knowledge of their trade. This can provide assurance that the work will be done correctly and to a high standard, reducing the risk of mistakes, defects, or poor workmanship that could lead to safety hazards or costly repairs.
3. Protection for consumers: Licensed contractors are often required to carry liability insurance and/or bonding, which can protect consumers from financial harm in the event that something goes wrong during the project. This can provide peace of mind and financial security for homeowners or businesses that are undertaking a construction project.
4. Accountability: Licensed contractors are accountable to their licensing board or governing body, and can be subject to disciplinary action if they violate regulations or fail to meet their obligations. This can help to ensure that contractors are held to high standards of conduct and professionalism, and can provide a mechanism for addressing complaints or disputes.

2.  Verify Insurance

Contractor liability insurance is a type of insurance policy that provides protection to contractors and construction businesses against claims for property damage or bodily injury that may arise during the course of their work. This insurance typically covers the costs associated with legal fees, medical expenses, property damage, and other related expenses that may be incurred as a result of a claim. Contractor liability insurance is often required by law or contract in order to ensure that the contractor is able to cover the costs of any damages that may occur during the course of their work.

3.  Verify Bond

Contractor bonds represent a pledge made by the underwriting surety firm that the bonded contractor will adhere to all the provisions of the state’s contractor licensing regulations.

4.  Verify the number of employees on the payroll.

Paying employees under the table is still a common practice in the trades!  You can also use the number of employees on payroll to verify that your home is not being subbed out to a third party.
