Before starting any project in your home, be sure to do your research.

• Look for companies that are Licensed, Bonded, and Insured.
1. Licensing requires the passing of multiple state exams and extensive criminal background checks.
2. Contractors carry a bond for the state recovery fund. If your contractor is bonded, you may be eligible to recover money for damages due to inferior workmanship or improperly installed items.
3. General Liability Insurance is very important. Should you suffer damages to your home, you must be able to recover the funds required to repair your home. You can sue your contractor, but chances are he won’t be able to pay you out of his personal finances. Be sure your plumber is insured!
• Ask for referrals.
• Google the company you are considering using. Often times people who have had unpleasant experiences with a company will blog about it. You can get an unscripted opinion of the company by seeing what other people think of them.

There are several ways to check out a company. Here are a couple of links to help you do your research:

The AZROC is responsible for the licensing of contractors. Contractors must pass multiple state examinations and extensive criminal background checks. If the company you are using is not licensed, you should ask yourself why. Did they not pass the state exams? Do they have a criminal record? Use the following link to determine if the company you are considering has a current license.

If you have ever been ripped off by a company, you understand how infuriating it can be. Rip Off Report is a website that allows consumers to document when they have been ripped off by a company. You can do a search on the website and see if any one has documented problems with the company you are considering.

• Once you have decided on a company, get all bids in writing. If you are replacing fixtures, ask to have the brand name included in the bid.
• Ask for a time frame included in your written bid. There is nothing worse than having a project started in your home, and waiting weeks for it to be completed.
• If you have agreed to make a deposit, insist on having the terms of your payments in writing on your accepted bid. For example, have your plumber include the date, amount, and method of payment, what the payment is for along with his signature that he has received that payment.
