Free5 Things Every Madison Homeowner Should Verify
Most contractor problems are preventable. These checks take under an hour and catch the most common hiring mistakes.
Ask for their WI contractor license number, then verify it yourself at the state licensing website before signing anything.
Request a certificate of insurance. Call the carrier directly to confirm general liability and workers' comp are active.
Get at least three written bids. Any quote more than 30% below average is a red flag, not a deal.
Ask specifically about permit requirements for entry door. A contractor who says "no permit needed" for structural work is a liability.
Read recent Google and BBB reviews for complaint patterns, not just star averages. One-star reviews reveal how disputes get resolved.
AboveBoardPros gives you a head start on checks 1 and 2.
In the states our automated check reaches, we cross-check the business against the state registry, and we read the certificate of insurance where a contractor provides one. You still confirm the trade license with your state and ask for a current certificate before you sign.

In Madison, entry door typically ranges from $1,500 to $5,000. Getting three written bids from licensed contractors is the most reliable way to calibrate your specific project.

You can look up any contractor's license status directly at https://dsps.wi.gov/Pages/SelfService/LicenseLookUp.aspx. To file a complaint or check for consumer alerts, use the Wisconsin Attorney General's consumer complaint page at https://www.doj.state.wi.us/dls/consumer-protection/file-consumer-complaint. Where our automated check reaches a state, we cross-check the business registry for the pros we list, and every listing shows what that check found.
