Three Questions to Settle Before You Hire
Mechanic's Liens
In Dayton, if a contractor doesn't pay their supplier, you can be held liable. The supplier may be able to place a lien on your home, which could mean paying for materials twice.
Mandatory Tear-Downs
If work is done without inspection in Dayton, you may be forced to tear down walls or decks to prove compliance. Doing the work twice can be very expensive.
Property Damage Caps
If a crew without liability coverage drops a tree on your roof, they may not be able to pay for it, and you may pay the deductible and higher premiums. Ask for a current General Liability certificate, and compare bids before you hire. Each listing shows what we checked and when.
