Hire a licensed Laguna Niguel Contractor for your own good.

• Take the Time to Ask to see The License Number and Worker’s Comp Cert!
• If they can’t produce it, send them on their way.

Here’s Why:

INJURIES
• Power Saws: Using Power saws while standing on step ladders and precariously balancing on beams is extremely dangerous! This is what I worry about most! We have ongoing safety meetings on this scenario over and over.
• Lifting Heavy Beams: Everyone knows lifting too much is hazardous.
Most people do not realize how heavy these beams are. Laguna Niguel Patio Cover/Pergola Carpenters have a tenancy to overdo it here. These guys have to carry these beams from the truck to the backyard where the Patio Cover/Pergola is being crafted. We have material lifts and dollies to assist in the process and reduce accidents and risk.

RECOURSE if you don't hire a contractor?
• What is your recourse if things don’t go as you expected, injury or other?
• Who do you call?
• Not Contractor's State License Board they  can't help you.
• Not contractor’s Bond they can't help you.
• What if they don’t finish the job and won’t return your calls?
• Just because a friend or neighbor recommended an unlicensed individual posing as a contractor doesn’t mean that you’ll have the same experience.
• What if there's' an injury that did not occur on your friend’s property. It doesn’t mean that it won’t happen on yours.

COST, Licensed vs. Unlicensed. 
• Many times, unlicensed individuals in Laguna Niguel are more expensive or equal to the legal licensed contractors.
• In fact, it’s very common. Get estimates from both and you’ll see.

• Depending on your perspective, most people would say that hiring an unlicensed contractor is not fair to the hard-working licensed contractors who are legally trying to make a living and feed their families. (Remember pricing is competitive between lagitimate contractors and posers.)
• Maybe sometimes it’s worth paying a little more to do the right thing?

Hire a licensed Contractor for your own good. Not doing so puts you the consumer at legitimate risk.
