"There may be people who try to catch unlicensed than licensed to do the work," Steadman said.

Steadman said, adding that most people use unlicensed work, because they are inexpensive, but according to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) ​​Cher Bilbrey, use undocumented workers in the long run may cost more.

Bilbrey said: "Unfortunately, if they destroy your property, your property or hurt yourself, you as a homeowner responsibility." "So, you really have to consider some of the high-risk, low-price work."

Of course, a license is not everything. Steadman said that previous work references and photo requirements are acceptable. Bilbrey agreed, BBB has many licensed contractor who is failing.

"We already have more than 1,100 contractors have earned our A + rating, we've got more than 700, is approved by us, you can use our arbitration if you have any questions," Bilbrey said. "But we have won 386 Class F."
