Things you should know before hiring
a contractor:
Check the contractor's license (where
applicable)
Contractors 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 contractors usually do not have bonding or
workers compensation insurance.
Contractors who are unlicensed 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 contractor's 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.
Check the contractor's references
Check the contractor's references, and call
them to see if they were satisfied with the contractors work.
Skilled contractors in Waco will be proud to take credit for
their work. Remember, the person you hire to work in your home
will be in and around your home until the job is completed.
You may also wish to check the 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
Verify that the contractor in Waco 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 contractor has
the insurance.
Contractors in Waco 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.
