What to look for in a contractor
It is always a good idea to check into the contractor you hire. A reputable contractor can not only provide you with references, but also proof of license, and insurance. There are many contractors that claim to be licensed and are not. Check them out for yourself at https://www.idfpr.com/dpr/licenselookup/default.asp. (It is important to spell the name correctly. For example, to see our license type C K Construction with a space between the C and K). There are also many contractors that claim to be insured. It is so important for you as the consumer to be aware of the insurance your contractor carries. A good contractor will carry liability insurance that protects the consumer from damage that may occur while there is work being done on your property. The other important insurance a good contractor will carry is workers compensation. The reason this is important for the consumer is because if your contractor does not have this insurance and one of his employees is injured on your property it is a good possibility that you would be responsible for that person.
