[How we make money](https://theshortlistlocal.com/how-we-make-money/). 05 Before you hire ## What to ask before hiring 1. **Can I see your license and insurance?** Look the license up on the state’s own portal. It takes two minutes. 2. **Who pulls the permit, and is it in the price?** It should be the business, and it should be in writing. 3. **What is the payment schedule?** Payments should follow the work. Be wary of large deposits up front. 4. **Which parts of the job do you subcontract?** Most do some. You want to know who will be at your home. 5. **What does the warranty cover, and for how long?** Labour, materials and equipment often have different terms. 6. **Can I talk to two customers from the last year?** Recent ones, not the showcase project from years ago.
