Contractor Background Checks

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

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.

AAA Credit Screening Services offers Contractor Background Checks and Tenant Screening Services for property owners, landlords and property managers.

Given all the active hurricanes this year, there has been a lot of damage to property and of course everyone wants repairs to be made as soon as possible.  Unfortunately there are scammers that want to cash in on people’s misfortune and therefor property owners will come in contact with many pop-up businesses that offer to fix everything, work with their insurance, etc.  Many of these companies are not legitimate businesses and will file claims against your insurance for work they didn’t even do, and when a property owner files a claim for actual work done, the insurance won’t pay out.  It is imperative that you only do business with legitimate companies and contractors that will not scam property owners out of their insurance money.  Running contractor background checks can assist with this matter.  Criminal Records run on individuals and business license checks and business credit checks run on contractor businesses can assist property owners in making informed decisions before allowing repairs to be made on their properties.  AAA Credit Screening Services has been in business since 1996 and can run these reports and more!
