4 Questions to Ask A Baltimore Contractor Before You Hire Them

Can you Share your References?
This is a basic request and it should be obliged. If the contractor is hesitant or makes excuses as to why they can’t share any references that should be a big warning sign. Your Baltimore contractor should be able to easily provide you a list through the company’s website or have one for you during your initial meeting.
3. What Types of Insurance do you Carry?
