In a relationship is….? It is the highest priority for both homeowner and contractor alike. Without it nothing can be accomplished, and there is no basis or foundation to build a relationship upon. What is the number 1 factor?
It is trust. Without trust, the contractor will never, ever get his foot in the door. And the homeowner will never get anywhere with the contractor. Trust is earned, valued, and the ultimate reward.
My company is built upon a foundation of integrity, a diligent work ethic, and honesty. It is through this structure that I am able to establish lasting relationships with clients rather than just “transactions”.
Here is just 1 example of what could happen if you don’t research your contractor.
Protect yourself, and your home. Only hire qualified contractors, check their references.

In Pennsylvania every contractor who does work for home owners and exceeds $5000 a year in revenue is required by law to be registered with the PA State Attorney General’s Office.
Registered contractors MUST put their registration number in each and every advertisement and piece of paperwork, including posts on this site, in order to comply with the law.
Contractors must write a contract and are beholden to certain contract requirements including giving you a start and end date for your project, and it is a 3rd degree felony if they fail to meet scheduling obligations and did not clearly communicate scheduling issues with you.
You may search a database of legal licensed contractors at The Attorney Generals Office either by entering a license number or a name search. Protect yourself, and your home. Only use legitimate licensed contractors for your next repair, renovation or improvement.
