Confirm the contractor carries liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage.

Get everything in writing, including scope of work, payment schedule, and warranty terms.

Check that the contractor is bonded if required for your specific project type.

Quality signals to look for

Look for contractors who provide transparent written quotes and can document their licensing and insurance status. A reputable contractor will be willing to discuss their experience on similar projects and provide verifiable references. Be cautious of contractors who demand full payment upfront, insist on cash-only transactions, or pressure you to start work immediately without a signed contract. Avoid those with no verifiable online presence or references, and always verify credentials directly with state licensing boards rather than relying solely on what's claimed verbally.
