Frequently asked questions
- It’s important that you verify their license is still in good standing. Also keep in mind that certain states or provinces don’t require licensing if the job is under a certain dollar amount.
- You can find a list of your state’s licensing requirements on the HomeAdvisor website. Before you get to work with the pro, make sure their qualifications are current and acceptable to you.
- It is always a good idea to get a copy of the pro’s insurance certificate for future records, and in case anything happens. This is a good way to feel more secure in your home project, and to weed out potential scammers.
HomeAdvisor makes it easy to connect with pros near you. You can read reviews, get quotes and book appointments all in one place.
Depending on the type of project, you may find subtle differences in the hiring process. Here’s a look at task-specific advice.
You can use HomeAdvisor to help evaluate a contractor’s qualifications. We put pros through a screening process, and award badges to high-performing contractors. You can find these badges on a pro’s HomeAdvisor profile, and sometimes, his or her website.
Your research doesn’t stop here. Once you’ve found a few prospective companies, make an call to ask a few questions about work history, licensure and more:
- Have you completed a job like this before?
- Do you have a list of references I can contact?
- When are you able to start the job?
In most cases, the responses you get to these three questions will give you a very good idea of the right pro for your project. If you have more than one front-runner, these additional questions can help you narrow it down.
- How many years of experience do you have?
- What’s your permanent business address?
- Are you licensed to work in my area?
- When did you earn your business license?
- How do you handle warranty service complaints?
- Do you have worker’s compensation, property damage and personal liability insurance?
Any good contractor will answer these questions, and most will appreciate dealing with a client that takes such an active interest in finding good service. On the other hand, if a contractor gives you a hard time with these questions, you probably want to find someone else.

For remodeling and other large-scale home projects, hiring a general contractor can make the difference between a chaotic and stressful waste of time and a hassle-free experience. They are a "jack of all trades" who make sure a job is completed on-time and within budget. They hire and manage subcontractors, pull permits, buy materials, and handle issues related to liability and warranties.
While it's important to get quotes from at least 3 contractors before hiring anyone and to watch out for warning signs (for example, if they request the entire payment upfront), it can be equally as important to make sure they are nearby. Contractors in your area can negotiate better prices for materials and labor, can source local materials, and typically know your area's code requirements.
When you start to interview candidates, here are some questions you should ask:
- Are you licensed and do you have general liability and workman's compensation insurance?
- Do you have client references, industry certifications, and have there been any legal suits against your company?
- How long have you been in business and do you guarantee your work?
- What is the structure of the payment agreements?
- Can you describe and compare my project to others you have completed and what challenges may arise?

(Check all that apply): OtherComment: I live in Mandeville Canyon, in a house built in 1948. A new metal septic tank was installed on my property (under the asphalt driveway in the front of my house) about 20 years ago. The old tank is located in the backyard but it may continue to play a role in the current disposal system. I say that because several years ago a contractor unearthed the old tank's portal and found lots of sewage water inside that brick-lined tank. There is also some sinkage of the lawn (an area about 4’x2’ with a maximum sinkage of about 2”) located about ten feet from that portal. I need a sanitation systems contractor to diagnose how my septic system works; to determine if it is working properly; and to determine what role, if any, the old tank plays in our “new” disposal system and if the collapsing lawn is somehow connected to all this. My name is John, and I can be reached at [email protected] or at 310 709-0056.
