How To Hire A Contractor |
Ask to see the contractor's state-issued license and write down the number.
Then call 850.487.1395 or visit www.myfloridalicense.com
to verify that the license is current and active.
If you live outside of the state of Florida, check with your local building official
about certification guidelines.
Ask for references. Licensed contractors should be happy to provide you with names
and contact information for recent customers.
Get written estimates from several contactors that include all costs and a completion
date. Beware of contractors that promise to be the fastest and the cheapest, this
may result in poor quality or unfinished work.
Get a written description of the work being done, including a schedule and the material
that will be used.
Check that the contractors you hire are fully insured. Ask for a firm completion
date, including clean-up. Ask for a warranty agreement that guarantees the work
for a specified period of time and provides for necessary repairs.
The time you take to hire the right contractor will pay for itself in safe, reliable
repairs and peace of mind. For more information on hiring a licensed contractor
