What is Licensed and Insured,what does it mean to you?

An internet search for handyman services quickly reveals that there’s no shortage of people ready to come to your home and fix whatever needs repairing. The problem is quantity rarely translates into quality and if they are even licensed and insured. You may talk to somebody who sounds like an expert but the results delivered may be far from what you’d expected.

First thought:

Most of homeowner or renters had the unfortunate experience of dealing with some type of services were less than satisfactory. So how can you make the best decision to hire the right individual? The answer is to hire a company that is licensed, insured and bonded to do the job.

Let’s break down these three things:

1. Being licensed means that the company or the individual you hire holds all the appropriate licenses to do business in your state. He isn’t just someone operating on his own.

2. Insured demonstrates that the company and/or the individual craftsman holds a liability policy. This covers two things: Property damage and employee injury. In the event of a problem, the company has insurance to cover it, and the homeowner’s own insurance policy will not be affected.

3. Being bonded guarantees protection for the customer against any sort of fraudulent acts or dishonesty.

Conclusion :

Nobody wants to spend their hard-earned money any faster than they have to. It’s a natural instinct to want to hire the person that charges the least for their services. Sometimes that works out great for everyone involved. But it’s much better to practice due diligence. Why are one company’s services so much cheaper than another’s? The “bargain” you think you are getting may not be such a bargain after all.
