The lowest price might seem like a smart decision, but when it comes to choosing a contractor that can prove to be a costly mistake for bargain hunters. An unlicensed contractor or unqualified contractor can leave you with sub-standard work on one of the most significant assets you own: your Arizona home.
The Arizona Registrar of Contractors (AROC) website offers free information for consumers about how to locate and choose a licensed contractor. The website explains that, “… with a licensed contractor, you as a residential property owner have significant protections not available to persons utilizing an unlicensed contractor. This is your guarantee should the workmanship be below standard or in violation of existing codes.” Fortunately, AROC makes it easy to verify the license and good standing of all contractors in the state.
