You should always ask for proof of insurance, and a business license.
If the contractor has that then you should request and contact their references.
Finally you should get your project defined ion writing and ask for a firm price quote. Ask previous customer (references) if their project was done on time and within the quote provided at the start of their project.
#1 Check state license board to make sure the contractor is licensed ( current) bonded and has current liability insurance.
Completed jobs- Get 2-3 past clients at least one current and talk to them about their project.
Ask questions you have concerns about. Check website for current photos of completed jobs.
Getting references from a reliable Contractor should be easy. If not move on.
When you contact General Contractors and get bids, make sure the bid price is reasonable and pay attention to the General Contractor’s professionalism. But remember that the lowest bid isn’t necessiraly the best, as is the case often in life, you get what you pay for.
What to look for in a General Contractor:
Repeat business with a long term record of projects in the surrounding area
Number of years in the business locally
Professionalism, Service Oriented attitude
Membership in local professional associations
Knowledge of current materials and procedures
A professional General Contractor should be able to provide you with an up-to-date copy of their references. Your General Contractor should also be able to show you a copy of his insurance coverage. For example, if you are looking for a roofing contractor they should carry sufficient liability insurance for their practice - a policy with at least a $1,000,000 of coverage.
Other indicators that a General Contractor is Legitimate:
Local references (jobs completed in the last 30 days and 1+ years ago)
Business license
Credentials
Workers compensation insurance
General liability insurance
