Always get three 3 bids or estimates before signing a contract or giving the contractor a deposit.
Each contractor should have a contractor’s number listed on his contract that you can use to verify with the our Contractor Licensing Office.
Make sure the work to be done is in writing on the contract regardless of how minute.
Make sure all warranties are listed on the contract - not verbal.
Make sure you read all the fine print on your contract and understand it, or ask your contractor to explain before you sign the contract.
Include in the contract that the contractor will supply you with a Contractor’s Final Affidavit of no liens when the job is completed and at the same time you give him the final payment.
