The Three Risks of the 'Gig Economy'
Hidden Title Clouds
Unpaid sub-contractors can file claims against your property title. You wont know until you try to sell or refinance your Davenport home, effectively freezing your asset.
Resale Deal Killers
Savvy buyers in Davenport ask for permit history. Unpermitted additions or decks are flagged by inspectors, often forcing you to lower your asking price by thousands.
Liability Roulette
If an uninsured worker falls off your ladder, **your** homeowner's policy is on the hook. Ask any pro for a current Workers' Comp certificate; screened pros provide one on request.
