Donât Get Burned by a Bad Contractor! Hereâs What Every Alabama Homeowner Should Know
When it comes to repairing or remodeling your home, whether after storm damage, a water leak, or just updating your space. The most critical decision is to hire someone you can trust. Unfortunately, there are too many fly-by-night âcontractorsâ out there offering cut-rate prices with no license, no insurance, and no accountability.
In Alabama, any project requiring more than 1 trade and above $10,000 requires a licensed home builder or general contractor. Thatâs not just a suggestion; itâs the law.
The Alabama Home Builders Licensure Board (HBLB) exists to protect homeowners like you. They ensure contractors meet state standards and are properly insured, financially stable, and trained to do the job right.
â Before you hire ANY contractor:
⢠Ask for their Home Builderâs License or General Contractors License number
⢠Verify it at: www.hblb.alabama.gov and genconbd.alabama.gov
⢠Confirm theyâre insured and/or bonded
⢠Check for reviews or references
⢠Avoid cash-only contractors who wonât provide a written contract
At GWC Restoration, we believe in doing it the right way every time.
