Why You Need a Contractor’s with a License in New York, NJ or PA?
Thinking of not hiring licensed contractors to work on your home or office? You may want to rethink that…
Many consumers care very little about a professional’s verified license status.
They care more about recommendations, pricing, and reviews.
Most unlicensed contractors do not provide liability and workers compensation insurance.
This means you, as a homeowner, are financially responsible for damage that occurs to your home during remodeling process and also means you’re legally responsible in the event of worker injury while working on your project.
Here is why it is important to try to select a contractor who is properly licensed:
• A contractor’s license shows that contractor has been approved by the state. They can obtain quickly all necessary permits for all type of jobs they will perform.
• Licensed contractor will hire subcontractors if needed and manage the jobsite.
• When a contractor chooses to be licensed, it’s a public sign that they want to do things right; they have proven they are competent and have the paperwork to prove it.
• Licensed contractor will provide warranty on all finished jobs.
• In the absence of a properly licensed contractor on your job site, the courts typically consider homeowners to be the official “contractor,” fully responsible for legal and financial liability claims.
Licensed contractors are managers who oversee all the aspects of a project. They arrange and manage the materials, workers, equipment and services needed for completing projects on time and within budget.
