Verify license: MA HIC registration applies to many remodel jobs; electrical, plumbing, and HVAC need trade licenses. Ask for license numbers and verify on state sites.

Verify insurance: require General Liability and Workers' Comp. Without insurance, job-site risk may fall on you.

Read the quote: material specs, labor scope, permits included?, change-order pricing, payment milestones. Avoid full prepay or cash with no receipt.

For major HVAC, kitchen/bath remodels, or roofing, compare 2–3 licensed contractors through our platform and keep written contracts and warranties.
