8. Consumer Beware! Avoid Potential Pitfalls
Unlicensed contractors are uninsured and incompetent
Homeowner’s insurance will not pay for damage or poor workmanship caused by an unlicensed contractor
BEWARE of the so called “Handyman”
A Business Tax Receipt (formerly known as an Occupational License) issued by the County is NOT a Contractor License!
Don’t be victimized by someone making door to door solicitation
Don’t pay cash, don’t let payments get ahead of the work completed, don’t pay the full cost of the job up front
Get at least 3 bids
Avoid owner/builder permits, keep the responsibility where it belongs, with the contractor
