What do you actually check before hiring a contractor? Asking because I nearly made a $4K mistake.
I am comfortable with smaller stuff but when it comes to roofing/electrical/plumbing I hire out. After a hail storm last month, a contractor knocked on my door with a quote. Seemed fine on the surface.
A neighbor told me to verify his license before signing anything. Turns out the state board lookup is not as simple as it sounds — there are license types, status codes, expiration dates, and it varies by state.
Got lucky this time. But it made me think — what’s the actual checklist you use before hiring someone for work over $1,000?
Looking for practical steps, not “just use Angie’s List” 😄
