Common questions about these services

What does this kind of job cost?

It depends on the size of the job, the materials and where you live. Where we have a sourced price range, it is shown on the service page. Get at least three written quotes for the same scope before you decide.

Do I need a licensed contractor for this work?

It depends on your state and the scope of the job. Many states require a license for structural, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and roofing work, and some require one above a set dollar amount. Check with your state licensing board and ask for the license number before any work starts.

What should I ask before I hire someone?

Ask for the license number, proof of insurance with you listed as certificate holder, a written scope and price, the payment schedule, and who pulls the permit. Do not pay most of the price before work starts.

How do I find a verified pro near me?
