1. Must be a legitimate business for 5 years or more. Having 5 years experience isn’t enough. Being an operational business for 5 years is whole different ball game.
2. Must have an established place of business that the company has occupied for 2 years or more. One trick out of state contractors use is the rent a local office to look local trick…don’t buy it!
3. Must check out when doing your due diligence. Check with your local Better Business Bureau and see how the contractor rates. Also search the name of the company on Google, Yahoo, or Bing. If nothing comes up, do not use this contractor. An established company will have reviews, websites, and information about them online. Lastly, do they belong to local chambers and can they provide local references.
4. Must have and provide insurance certificate and license information. You can confirm insurance information by calling insurance carrier to make sure the insurance is in force. You can confirm licenses by calling your local municipality.
