Selecting the Right Contractor»
The State of Oregon requires contractors to be licensed, bonded
and insured. You should verify this by contacting the
Construction Contractors Board and making sure the
contractor’s insurance coverage meets minimum
requirements. Also check to be sure there are no open claims or
unpaid final orders filed against the contractor.

If you solicit bids from several different contractors, be
sure they are bidding on the same scope and quality of work.
Discuss variations in bids, and beware of any bid that is
substantially lower than the others.
Take your time and be thorough in your search. There are many
places you can look for the best contractor for your job.
Nearly half of all projects signed by a contractor are the
result of client referrals. An additional 22 percent of jobs
are the result of word of mouth.
