This past year my company has had many request to correct the work of an unlicensed contractor and oftentimes the only correction that can be made is to redo the roofing or renovation project. I realize that in a tough economy the property owners' priority is to have as little out of pocket expense as possible. However what has happened is that the property owner is now paying twice for the same job. Here are a few tips on hiring a contractor that might save you money in the long run.
Hope this helped (not that i mind the extra work coming my way

Here are a few tips on hiring a contractor that might save you money in the long run. ask a friend/realtor/doctor anyone you know for a refferal no luck there, then surf the net/yellow pages get three estimates and plan on spending an hour with each one, ask questions, find out about their company no, don't just go with the cheapest guy check the better business bureau check their with the state do they have insurance, of course thy do; ask for a copy , call the insurance company to verify references are they members of any trade associations?( this shows commitment) , do they take continuing education courses any special certifications? this is just my personal opinion , but are they well groomed, take pride in their appearance, chances are they will take pride in your project Hope this helped (not that i mind the extra work coming my way Maxine Reyes Reyes Group General Construction www.reyesgroupgc.com info@reyesgroupgc.com 954-446-3450

Last year we got so much business from clients who received a violation notice from thier city (because they hired an unlicensed contractor) and now had to correct the work that was done by doing it with a permit. In most cases we had to re-do the project , which caused the property owner to pay twice for the improvements. I know money is tight right know and every dollar counts, however to avoid penalties later, hire a licensed contractor.
Hope this helps though , i don't mind the extra business8:35 PM GMT | Read comments(0)December 28Hiring a Contractor
