Frequently Asked Question
WHY DO I NEED TO HIRE A LICENSED CONTRACTOR WHEN AN UNLICENSED ONE MAY BE CHEAPER?
There is always a price. Working with a licensed contractor is highly recommended for many reasons: A licensed and insured contractor offers many protections to the property owner, especially regarding residential properties. A contractor cannot obtain a State Contractors License without first possessing a minimum amount of experience. In addition, the contractor must pass a business management test. The applicant also may be subject to a criminal history background check, and must not have any unresolved contracting complaints outstanding. Here in California, if a contractor has employees, they're required to carry workers compensation insurance. The importance of this alone cannot be overstated. If a worker is injured on your property and the contractor doesn't have insurance, you could be legally liable to pay for injuries and rehabilitation. Your homeowner's insurance may not cover those costs
