I would recommend getting a professional who is licensed and bonded because you want to be protected. And you definitely want references.
Your home is one of the most valuable accent in your life and i am sure that you would like to protect it from anyone being able to sue you if they fall or any other mishaps. so for your sake and your family sake do not take the chance of hiring an unlicensed or un insured contractor even if your saving a few dollars on the job.
Hiring a licensed contractor is most important thing to do when remodeling.
By law, contractors need to carry a liability insurance and bond. Failure to do so will cause their license to be suspended, and they wouldn’t be allowed to conduct business.
Hiring the right license contractor is essential because the insurance will protect your family and property from liability in case of damages, or if one of the employees is hurt during the remodeling.
yes
It is important to hire a licensed contractor when remodeling. It is a law to have a license as a contractor. The insurance is just as important; as the policy will protect you, the homeowner, as well as the employees and the company.
Sometimes, the price may be a little more with those who are licensed and insured properly, but it is worth it in case any incidents occur. This is very unusual, but it can happen.
YES! It is very important to know that you are protected as the customer.
Hi,
We carry 2 million in liability,comp, and several other insurances to protect our customers. We also have the trade licenses needed to do business. It says a lot about a company that they have all these things in order. Chances of your work being done “in order” increases for sure. Thanks Josh
Yes it’s best the homeowner is protected. Some homeowners believe it’s cheaper to hire someone without a license and insurance, not realizing if worker gets hurt or doesn’t do the install properly, homeowner will end up paying more. It’s not worth the risk.
Absolutely! Do not take the risk, just to save money. Make sure the contractor you hire is properly licensed, insured and gives you a reasonable labor warranty in writing as well as copies of any manufactured warranties of the products used in your project. I say reasonable labor warranty, because anyone can write down or verbally give you any warranty, but it is only as good as the company itself.
For sure I will have commanded to use fully insured professional contractor
Absolutely the contractor should carry his own insurance and be licensed. It protects him as well as the home owner or client who is having work completed on the property. Just in case the contractor don’t have enough financial resources to pay for mishaps due to his negligence.
Yes you should hire a license,insured & bonded contractor. And you should definitely get references & photos of pass projects.
Yes they should!!
For sure
If it is a serious contractor, he will have Licence, Bond and Insurance present. You can not do any work officially if you don’t have insurance for your company. You can use experts help if you doing the project yourself, but responsibility on the project will be on you. If you want somebody else to be responsible for any work on your house, make sure he has licence, bond and insurance.
Yes, the contractor that you want to hire must carry a general contractor license and be insured. By law, for each project valued at more than $500 labor + material, a contractor must carry a general contractor with class B. Hired contractors, who work in your property, should have worker comp insurance and liability insurance to protect themselves and also your property. Before hiring a contractor, you should ask them about any bonded insurance.
Yes, yes and yes!
Yes, you only want to use contractors with the right insurances to protect you and your investment.
Yes. Check the CSLB website: cslb.ca.gov.
Insurance verification can also be requested with the contractor providing an ACORD Underwriting COI.
