The Placer County Contractors Association urges you to research the CSLB License status and insurance requirements for any contractor you contact to work on your home or business. References should be readily available, estimates should be detailed and clear, contractor should be easy to get in contact with. You should never feel pressured to sign a contract you are not completely comfortable with and understand, and a good contractor will insist that you are both comfortable and informed about the work he or she is going to perform. Accept no verbal agreements, or vague estimates, the more detail that is in the bid the more confidence you have knowing they have looked at and considered all options and problems. It's your property, be sure, be informed.
