Have you ever seen a company claim they’re licensed, bonded, and insured and felt reassured to use them, but you’re not sure why? Well, your instinct is right. Businesses can only make that claim if it is, indeed, true – and if they are, they will certainly make sure you know it. While a business that isn’t licensed, bonded, and insured is cheaper, there’s a significant reason why you would pay more for a provider who is. To understand why these three words mean so much to your home improvements, here is an explanation of each.

Why a Licensed, Bonded, & Insured Certification Means You’re In Safe Hands

Licensed

Being licensed is proof that a supplier can perform the job they claim to do. It’s an extra layer of reassurance to a customer as it demonstrates the supplier has fulfilled strict criteria that deem them qualified for the task. Not all states offer a contractor’s license, but if yours does, choose a supplier who has it as they have full verification of their credentials.

Bonded

If a company is bonded, it means that a bonding company has secured the funds to pay out for any compensation claims awarded to the customer. Hopefully, you’ll never have to do so. However, consider the following scenario. You’re working with a contractor on home improvements, and they don’t deliver on their promise. If you file a claim against them and earn a reward, the bonding company ensures that you receive payment for the claim.

Insured

This term may be the most critical of the three to your home improvements. You should always make sure that your provider carries general liability insurance. If they don’t and something goes wrong, the insurance claim will come back on you. That could be anything from damaged materials to personal injury.
