VISIT OUR SHOWROOM TO FIND THE IDEAL TILE & STONE FOR YOUR NEXT PROJECT! If your home or property has been damaged by a fire, flood, earthquake, or other disaster, don't let unscrupulous individuals take advantage of you during this vulnerable time. Before you hire a contractor or sign any documents for repairs, the California Contractors State License Board offers the following advice: Avoid rushing into repairs, no matter how badly they are needed. Get at least three bids. Avoid hiring the first contractor who comes along. Be cautious about door-to-door offers of repair services and fliers or business cards that are left at your property. Ask friends, family, and Marin Builders Association for recommendations about contractors they have hired. Avoid paying in cash. Even for small jobs, get proof that the person you are dealing with has a contractor license for the type of work that needs to be done. Get a written contract that details every aspect of the work plan. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS With service and repair contracts that are $750 or less and meet other legal requirements, a consumer's three-day right to cancel expires when the work begins. Check the paperwork before you sign to determine if it is a "home improvement" or a "service and repair" contract. Information on home improvement contracts is available in Section II, Chapter 5 of the CSLB California Contractors License Law & Reference Book located in the "Guides and Pamphlets" section of CSLB's website: www.cslb.ca.gov.
