As a property owner, building renovations can increase property values and maintain the property. When you begin mapping out the construction process with a strict budget in mind, it may be tempting to hire an unlicensed contractor. Before moving forward, review this list of reasons why a licensed contractor is worth the money. 

Why You Need a Licensed Contractor to Do Your Building Renovations

1. Insurance

Unlicensed contractors are not obligated to secure insurance. As a result, should an injury or accident occur while performing building renovations on your property, you would be liable for the hospital fees and other expenses. By working with a licensed contractor who carries worker’s compensation coverage, you won’t have to worry about this scenario. 

2. Skills

To secure a license with your state, a contractor must show proof of proper training as well as knowledge and understanding of local building codes. Proof of license coupled with excellent references and examples of previous work will ensure the end result is what you anticipated. 

3. Building Inspection

Licensed contractors will help secure building permits and other approvals as needed to complete renovations. Also, they’ll implement a systematic approach to construction to ensure all renovations are up to code and that they will pass inspection when the time comes. This will reduce the risk of delays and expensive alterations should you fail a property inspection.
