UNLICENSED, UNINSURED or UNDERINSURED CONTRACTORS
Hiring unlicensed, uninsured, or underinsured contractors can put you and your property at great risk. What may seem a great bargain can turn into to a huge financial loss due to lack of craftsmanship, shoddy materials, property being damaged or destroyed, unfinished work, etc. Keep in mind that dealing with uninsured and underinsured painters is risky and could be potentially devastating. While you’re shopping around for a painter, make sure all companies providing estimates are properly licensed and insured.
