Home Contractor Background Check / Screen Contractor               

 Screening Contractors / Handymen / Home Repair Workers  is one way you can protect yourself from unlicensed contractors. Each year unlicensed contractors cause major headaches for homeowners and state and local investigators. If the contractor is not insured or his/her  insurance is not active you could face huge bills if a worker is injured on the job and chooses to sue. Your safety may be at stake if the Contractor has a criminal record. References do not always give a true picture as they can be biased. To save money and for your safety you can start by searching for a background check.
