Contractors, plumbers, electricians and HVAC

Contractors, plumbers, electricians and air conditioning technicians handle repairs, renovations and new construction. Ask for a written estimate, proof of insurance and the business license number, which you can check with the Department of Licensing and Consumer Affairs (DLCA). Ask too whether the work needs a building permit from the Department of Planning and Natural Resources (DPNR), and who will pull it. On larger jobs, agree on a schedule and on payments tied to finished work. Each listing shows when we last verified it.
