Did You Know? (Finding a Reliable Contractor Pt 2)

Did you know some remodeling contractors attempt to hide illegal activities and unfair business practices by opening new licenses?

Did you know a general contractor performing work greater than $500.00 must be licensed by the State of California?

Fortunately for the informed homeowner, any new contractor license issued by the Contractor’s State License Board will be linked to a contractor’s previously issued license(s). This will allow you to investigate the reputation of a contractor. Be sure the contractor selected to remodel your kitchen is legally permitted to perform the work required. A “B-1″ license, or “General” license allows for all trades. Any other license allows for only specific trades to be performed.

So it will be important that you have an idea of the scope of work you want to undertake when hiring a contractor so you hire the correctly licensed one for your kitchen or bath renovation!

• Do you want to replace your kitchen countertops?
• Have new kitchen cabinets installed?
• Do you need electrical or plumbing work performed?
• Or will you be refacing your kitchen or bathroom cabinets?

Make sure you pick the contractor who is properly licensed in the State of California to perform these tasks!

Additionally, the contractor performing your kitchen or bath remodel  should carry Workers Compensation Insurance, Liability Insurance, and be Bonded. An additional “Performance Bond” may be provided from the contractor for an additional fee. This protection will keep your home and family safe from unforeseen accidents during the remodeling process.

You likely have health, car, homeowners, and life insurance. It might be foolish to invite someone into your home and risk all of those things to save a few dollars.
