Hiring the right contractor is key no matter what repair or home improvement you need.
- In addition to talking to friends, neighbors and associates, speak with materials suppliers, who often know the “pros” from the “cons”.
- Investigate prospective home improvement contractors by checking with the Better Business Bureau, the Attorney General’s office and the Consumers Affairs Department.
- Ask to see their home improvement contractor’s license if required, proof of liability insurance and workers’ compensation. Be sure to call references.
