Licensed and Insured Marine Contractor Requirements
We have all heard the horror stories – people coming out and claiming to be licensed and insured contractors, only to find out that they were not who they said they were. Many homeowners don’t know that hiring contractors that do not possess the proper licensing and liability insurance means that they themselves become legally and monetarily responsible for them! Ensure you are protected by knowing what to look for and asking the right questions of anyone you hire to complete your repairs.
