This is the very first question you need to ask before working with a commercial concrete contractor. If the answer to this question is no, do not even considering hiring that company. Here’s why. Every state has different requirements for licensing for contractors. A company’s licensure ensures that all employees have the required education, apprenticeships, and training for the work that they do. Make sure that all of their licenses are up to date, as well. You also want to make sure that the contractor you are working with has liability insurance. This protects your business if there is damage to any existing structure during the course of the job. It will also cover any injuries incurred during construction. Finally, bonding is another form of insurance to protect the money your company puts toward the job. If the commercial concrete contractor does not complete the job or otherwise meet their financial obligations, you will be protected.
