Danto Builders How to Deal with Construction Site Contamination | Page 11

Choose A Suitable Contractor From State-Licensed Contractors
Unscrupulous contractors that take advantage of innocent businesses and
homeowners are mostly unlicensed. To minimize your risk of getting
swindled by a prospective general contractor, make sure the contractor you
opt for is licensed. Ask the contractor to give you their license number for
you to verify with your state’s professional and business regulation
department whether they are indeed licensed.
Get References
If you already have a licensed contractor in mind, do not hesitate to request
them to give you a couple of recent clients they have worked with. Contact
those clients and enquire from them the kind of experience they had with
the contractor. If the clients rate the contractor high, then obviously you are
less likely to be swindled by the contractor. Normally, unscrupulous
contractors do not have credible references they can give to prospective
clients.
