What to do before you hire in Georgia
- Ask for the licence number and check it yourself against Georgia Secretary of State, Professional Licensing Boards Division - State Licensing Board for Residential and Commercial General Contractors, plus the Construction Industry Licens. A contractor who will not give you the number is telling you something.
- The public file for this state does not record suspensions, only expiry dates. A licence can be suspended and still look current on paper, so call the board if the job is large.
- Get the full scope and price in writing before any money changes hands, and never pay the full amount up front.
