3 Easy Ways

To Avoid being

Ripped Off by a “contractor“

in

2025

1) Google the company in which you are looking to hire. A legitimate home improvement company will have listings all over the place. Or their social media pages will have hundreds or even thousands of followers. Check reviews.
2) Check to make sure they are properly insured for the work they are proposing to do. You get this information from their General Liability Insurance form. Call the 1-800 number. Takes 3 minutes.

3) Make sure if any employees step foot on your property, they too are insured. In New York State all employees must be covered by Workers Compensation Insurance. Its very expensive.
