CHECK ALL CONTRACTORS HAVE SUFFICIENT
LIABILITY INSURANCE
This is something that many homeowners overlook especially when contracting unlicensed or
freelance tradesmen to undertake work on the cheap. However should someone be unfortunate
enough to be injured or even killed during the renovation the homeowner could be held
legallyliable. The homeowners insurance will almost certainly not cover third party injury under
such conditions so the contractor must have their own. You must check this or you could end up
paying the injured parties health bills and lost wages out of your own pocket.
