What are the most important things I should know about hiring a contractor?
A.It is important to know if the contractor has a valid license, if he can provide recent references, or if the contractor has expired permits. Other important information you should also know: – You can check with the Department of Business and Professional Regulation for complaints against a contractor’s license. – Contractors licensed in Pinellas County can also be checked at the Pinellas County Construction Licensing Board (PCCLB). – Use a contractor that will fulfill their contract and return after completion of the job for warranty issues. – Compliance with the Code is ultimately the responsibility of the property owner. Be sure that all inspections have been approved and that you are satisfied with the work before making final payment to a contractor. Make sure your contract does not conflict with this. Q.
