05 Before you hire
What to ask before hiring
- Can I see your license and insurance?Look the license up on the state’s own portal. It takes two minutes.
- Who pulls the permit, and is it in the price?It should be the business, and it should be in writing.
- What is the payment schedule?Payments should follow the work. Be wary of large deposits up front.
- Which parts of the job do you subcontract?Most do some. You want to know who will be at your home.
- What does the warranty cover, and for how long?Labour, materials and equipment often have different terms.
- Can I talk to two customers from the last year?Recent ones, not the showcase project from years ago.
