5 Things Every Montgomery Homeowner Should Verify

Most contractor problems are preventable. These checks take under an hour and catch the most common hiring mistakes.

  1. Ask for their OH contractor license number — then verify it yourself at the state licensing website before signing anything.

  2. Request a certificate of insurance. Call the carrier directly to confirm general liability and workers' comp are active.

  3. Get at least three written bids. Any quote more than 30% below average is a red flag, not a deal.

  4. Ask specifically about permit requirements for decks. A contractor who says "no permit needed" for structural work is a liability.

  5. Read recent Google and BBB reviews for complaint patterns — not just star averages. One-star reviews reveal how disputes get resolved.

AboveBoardPros handles checks 1 and 2 for you.

Every contractor on this page has had their license cross-checked against the OH state database, with insurance verified via certificate of insurance where shown. You negotiate the contract — but you start from a verified shortlist.
