🚨 HURRICANE RECOVERY REMINDER 🚨
If your home or property has been damaged during the hurricane, you may be eager to begin repairs. Before hiring anyone, take the time to verify that your contractor is properly licensed and qualified to perform the work.
Unfortunately, disasters can attract unlicensed or unqualified contractors looking to take advantage of homeowners when they are most vulnerable.
✅ Verify the contractor’s license
✅ Check that the license is current and valid for the work being performed
✅ Ask for proof of insurance
✅ Get a written contract outlining the scope of work and payment terms
✅ Be cautious of anyone demanding large upfront payments or pressuring you to sign immediately
Please do your research before hiring anyone after the storm! Using a properly licensed contractor can help protect you, your property, and your investment during the recovery process.
