Whether you're in need of home repairs, updates, or installations, you can never be too careful who you choose to do the work. It's an unfortunate reality, but time and time again, home repairs are left unfinished or improperly done by a seemingly legit contractor. Sometimes it's easy to spot a scam, but not always. I personally know people that have had contractors to take the money and run, but a lot of times you don't see damage until it's too late.
Another issue to remember is that bad work happens when people try to cut corners.I encourage everyone to be wary of the lowest bidder because there could be a reason why.
It could be several thousand dollars cheaper, but at the same time, it could cost you thousands of dollars to have the work corrected after the fact, and I learned the hard way because this happened to me a few years ago.
Always make sure they're licensed in their trade. Is the contractor licensed? Because if you ask them, they'll tell you they're licensed. So, get a copy of their license and also get a copy of their insurance.
Licensed and permitted work offers the customer a layer of legal protection, should anything go wrong. By law, a contractor must have a license to perform any work over $1500.
I hope these tips will help many, and keep you from having to learn the hard way as I did!
Be Blessed!
