Check if They're on a Violations List. - Top 10 Things to Do When Hiring a Contractor

You're here: Home : Top 10 : Top 10 Things To Do When Hiring A Contractor : Check If Theyre On A Violations List

See Details

Previous violations are rather obvious red flags. When hiring someone to work on your home or landscaping, you want a trustworthy (and completely legal) contractor. To find this information, simply run a good search on contractor violations in your state and you should be able to find a government website source.

Violations include practices relating to prevailing laws regarding wages, contractor registration or industrial insurance. If you discover the contractor has violations on record, you should investigate each violation further. A contractor who is found in violation of wage laws, for example, may have simply misfiled the paperwork; however, the contractor may be hiring and/or treating employees unfairly. In most states, contractors are required to be registered and to carry insurance. Contractors in violation of these codes may have failed to obtain or maintain registration or insurance; or, the contractor may have misled the government on insurance filings.

The point here is that violations revolve around the issues of fairness and trust – appropriate for businesspeople who work on your personal home. Too many violations will lead to the contractor’s disbarment. And the safest route for you is to choose a contractor with no violations of any kind.
