Warnings Signs of a Bad Demolition Contractor

If you are looking for a demolition contractor you need to be aware of some warning signs of a bad demolition contractor. Be aware of demolition contractors who:

– Don’t give estimates, or charge to give estimates. A sign of a bad demolition contractor is a demolition contractor that refuses to give an estimate, or charges a fee to give you an estimate. Another warning sign is a demolition contractor that only gives a “phone estimate” or an “internet estimate” using email pictures.

– Don’t have proper licenses. A lot of demolition contractors are not licensed in their state or city. Avoid demolition contractors that don’t have a proper license. Also be wary of demolition contractors that claim to have a license but refuse to give you the pertinent license information.

– Don’t have insurance. A demolition contractor that doesn’t have insurance isn’t a demolition contractor you want to do business with.

– Has bad credit. A demolition contractor that has poor credit or a lot of judgements against him for nonpayment can do a job and leave you holding the bag. If a bad demolition company doesn’t pay its subcontractor, they could leave you liable.

These are some of the things to look out for when looking for a demolition contractor.
