Handyman Insurance, Consumers always get at least three project bids from licensed professionals
Thursday, Nov. 3rd 2016 6:15 AM
CSLB recommends that consumers always get at least three project bids from licensed professionals and check out the contractor license on CSLB’s website to be sure it is in good standing. “Homeowners should also be aware that if they do hire somebody without a license, there is a tremendous risk,” said CSLB Registrar Steve Sands. “These scammers do not carry workers’ compensation insurance and the property owner could be liable if the illegal operator or their employees are injured during the project.”
