It is crucial to verify your contractor! I remember searching online for Roofing Contractors in Duncan, BC and cross comparing with external directory sites, and it saves a lot of stress! Firstly, check with your local authority, if they have the correct license to operate. They also need general liability insurance, as well as worker's compensation insurance, in case anyone is injured. Get actual copies of the documents and review the policy numbers.

What should I look for in the documentation?

You would think that there would be some kind of centralized system or registry that makes it easier to verify this information, but it is often up to the average person to check for themselves. This is very stressful for most people..
