Zoning Hearing Board  

How to Choose a Reputable Contractor: 

The following guide was taken in part from "Looking for a  Builder"? "Pick the Right One" by the Attorney General's office.

  • Ask for references. Talk with others who have had work done by the contractor about their capabilities and quality of workmanship.   

                                                 

  • Ask to see the contractor's work.  Check for yourself the quality of work.

 

  • Ask for an insurance certificate to verify current workers' compensation and general liability insurance.  Contractor without employees are not required to carry workers compensation insurance.

 

  • Make sure the contractor has a permanent business location and a good reputation with local banks and suppliers.

 

  • Be specific about starting and completion dates.

 

  • Beware of an unusually low bid or low advertised price. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
