Choosing A Contractor……A few things that you should consider…… 

·       Confirm state registration and age of the company:  http//corp.sos.state.ga.us/corp/soskb/csearch.asp

·       Call contractor’s insurance agent and request a certificate listing both Workers’ Comp and General Liability Insurance be sent to you with your name listed.

§  Workers’ Comp is required by law.  It protects you and the worker from a claim.  You can go on line to www.sbwc.georgia.gov or call (800)533-0682 to confirm that a company has a Workers’ Comp policy on file with the state.

§  Liability Insurance protects you and your home from a contractor’s negligence.

·         Request a copy of the business license required in order to do business in the state of Georgia
