Hire a licensed contractor
March 31st, 2008
Why check a contractor’s license? The Construction Contractors Board (CCB) believes the best way to a successful home improvement, repair or new home project is to know your contractor. Checking a contractor’s license can tell you:
- If the contractor is actively licensed, which means they have a surety bond and liability insurance;
- If the contractor carries Workers’ Comp Insurance to protect its workers on the project;
- Breach of contract complaints filed with the CCB in the past seven years.
- CCB disciplinary actions against business in the pasts seven years.
