Things you should know before hiring
a contractor:
Check the general contractor's license
(where applicable)
General 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 general contractors usually do not
have bonding or workers compensation insurance.
General 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 roofer to correct the work-and paying for the job
twice.
Check to see the general 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 roofer is working under.
Check the general contractor's references
Check the general contractor's references, and call them to see if they
were satisfied with the contractors work. Skilled contractors 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 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 general contractor has
workers' compensation and liability insurance coverage. (when
applicable)
Verify that the general 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 Waco general
contractor has the insurance.
Waco general 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 general contractor.
Institutional lenders such as savings and loans, insurance
companies or commercial banks generally require contractors
to secure bonds for large jobs.
