What contractors should be avoided?
It is probably best to avoid working with a contractor who works from unmarked vans or trucks, are willing to do the job at an usually low price, or requires full or substantial payment before any work begins. Additionally, avoid a company that refuses to provide a written estimate or contract, refuses to provide a builder license number, or refuses to provide references. Don’t work with any company that uses high pressure sales tactics. And finally, don’t work with a contractor that asks you to obtain any necessary permits.
