You have finally made the decision to start that project you have been putting off. Whether its remodeling your kitchen or bathroom, getting a new roof for your home, or replacing your air conditioning system. You have even found several contractors that you trust to give you an estimate.

The estimates may have similar prices or they may be all over the map, but before making a final selection, you want to make sure that the contractor you will be using is licensed and fully insured.

Hiring an unlicensed contractor, may seem like a better deal, but there are hidden costs that are not reflected on the estimate that you received.

To check out if a contractor is licensed and in good standing, go to

The most important thing a licensed contractor will provide for you, throughout the project, is peace of mind and that is hard to put a price on.
