CONTRACTOR Warning! And Red Flags to Look for!
ONLY work with LICENSED CONTRACTORS because they have a higher set of ETHICAL and LEGAL obligations as determined by the state.
If they say their work is that "good" and they don't have a license, then that's a RED FLAG.
If they say they don't have a license, but someone they work with does, then make sure the agreement is signed with the person who has the license.
If they will not put your agreement in writing, then that's a MAJOR RED FLAG.
If you don't have a professional contract signed, then that's a RED FLAG.
If they ask for 100% payment up front for anything, then that's a RED FLAG.
Please take heed because your legal and financial recourse may be limited if things don't go as planned.
