Anyone that owns property, a house, commercial building or rental property will need to have repairs or even construction done at some point in time. The questions is, can you trust the contractors that you want to use to do a good job? Are they a reputable company?
Contractor background checks can help property owners weed out the bad fly-by-night contractors and only do business with reputable businesses. Looking at a business’ credit history, incorporation information, years in business, bankruptcy records, etc. can help provide property owners with an insight into the business and their history as a contractor.
When hiring individuals to do work on a property, individual background checks can also be run, helping avoid unqualified individuals that may or may not take the money and run without completing the job.
During natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, etc. unsuspecting property owners are especially vulnerable. Unfortunately fly-by-night companies pop up right after such events. They will drive through neighborhoods and try to pick up business wherever they can. Property owners are desperate for someone to help make repairs and will often fall victim to someone that promises quick repairs while more reputable companies have a waiting list.
