a contractor:
Check the general contractor's license

Contractors in Hartford who are unlicensed
pose a risk to your financial security. general contractors
expose you to significant financial harm in the event of injury
or property damage. Unlicensed general contractors usually do
not have bonding or workers compensation insurance.

may not have the expertise and qualifications to do the job
right the first time. You could end up having to hire a licensed,
reputable contractor to correct the work-and paying for the
job twice.
Check to see the contractors pocket license
and some additional form of identification. The name on the
pocket license should be the same as the name of the contractor
or business name the contractor is working under.

and around your home until the job is completed.
You may also wish to check the general contractors out with your local
consumer protection agency, consumer fraud unit in your city or district
attorney's office, and the Better Business Bureau. We will be glad to provide
you with websites and phone numbers of these agencies just call one of our
customer care reps or check out our links section below.
Ask the contractor for the address of his or her business location
and business telephone number, and verify them. A contractor
who operates a business out of the back of a pickup truck with
a cellular telephone may be difficult to find to complete a
job or fix something that has gone wrong after the last bill
is paid.
Make sure the contractor has workers'
compensation and liability insurance coverage. (when applicable)
Verify that the contractor is insured against
claims covering workers compensation, property damage, and personal
liability in case of accidents. Ask to see a copy of the certificate
of insurance, or ask for the name of the insurance carrier and
agency to verify that the general contractor has the insurance.
Contractors must tell you whether or not they
carry general liability insurance and that it will protect against
third-party bodily injury and property damage. If uninsured,
they should be able to explain how they would cover losses that
would ordinarily be covered by insurance.
Bonds
Some bonds are designed to protect you against
substandard work that does not comply with local building codes.
Bonds do not assure the financial or professional integrity
or competency of a contractor.
Institutional lenders such as savings and loans, insurance
companies or commercial banks generally require contractors
to secure bonds for large jobs.
