Hire a general contractor if you just want the work done and do not want
the problems of management. You need no lisence where I am. But its then
your responsibility of knowing the job is right. Get a permit and don`t
pay any sub till it is inspected by the city, be sure you talk to their
insurance agent for proof of workers comp and liability insurance,
seeing a certificate is not good as the cert can easily be altered. Get
a release of lien from all workers. If its all insurance money hire a
general but don`t partial pay till you talk to the inspector on each
job. Workers that are not paid by their boss, and supliers can come back
at you if the contractor does not pay. Injuries and house damage can
sometimes be your responsibility, protect yourself, its not easy or fun
sometimes. Ive had contractors and workers fake injuries and certs and
do substandard work, there are alot of crooks out there.
