Look up the contractor's license record on the ROC Contractor Search, and make sure the license class covers the work in the contract.
Confirm the person you are dealing with works for the licensed contractor by calling the number on the ROC license record.
Get written estimates from at least three contractors, and check references.
Put the price, who pulls the building permits, and other key terms in a written contract.
Never pay in cash. Make checks payable to the company named in the contract, and do not let payments get ahead of the work.
Change orders must be signed by both parties.
