Registered contractors in Nebraska must carry an active workers' compensation policy, but are not required to have general liability insurance. It is always a good idea to hire contractors who have general liability insurance, request a copy of each insurance certificate before any work begins.

The BuildZoom score is based on a number of factors including the contractor's license status, insurance status, verified work history, standing with local consumer interest groups, verified reviews from other BuildZoom users and self-reported feedback from the contractor.
