As many of you now know, I recently passed my C-33 (painting and decorating) license test with the C.S.L.B. It is a great addition to my current B-General Building Contracting license. We're always doing our best here at Modaa to further our education and training.
Its always good to work with licensed professionals. Keep that in mind when hiring people to work on/in your home. Here are some helpful tips when hiring any type of Contractor:
- Hire only licensed Contractors
- Check a contractor's license number at www.cslb.ca.gov or at (800) 321-CSLB (2752)
- Get references and review past work
- Get at least three bids
- Get a written contract and don't sign anything until you completely understand the terms
- Pay 10% down or $1,000, whichever is less
- Don't let payments get ahead of the work and keep records of payments
- Don't make final payment until you're satisfied with the job
- Don't pay cash
- Keep a job file of all papers related to your project
- Don't be talked into more work than you need done
