Why Butcher & Butcher Construction Requires Licensed And Insured Contractors
Butcher & Butcher Construction is a family owned and operated business. The company represents decades of hard work and honesty by our family and carries our family name. To protect our business and our clients, we insist that all contractors are licensed and insured for many reasons, which include:
Meeting Legal Obligation: In many states and communities, the laws are very clear, and contractors are required to be licensed to ensure they have the training and skills needed to provide quality workmanship and finished products. Obtaining the license typically includes passing one or more tests to prove the skill and knowledge of the contractor.
Quality Control: In addition to knowledge of the proper practices and methods used in a specific discipline, before earning a contractor’s license, the applicant must take part in on the job training, hands on work, and often an apprenticeship to ensure they have the practical knowledge as well as the book knowledge to provide quality work to clients.
Consumer Recourse: No one wants to think about a construction project gone wrong, but it can happen. When there are issues with the workmanship or quality of a project, there was damage to the property, or the work is not completed as per the agreed upon project scope, the customer has more recourse against the licensed contractor.
Insurance Coverage: Construction work can have its risks. While everyone works as safely as possible to prevent injuries and damage to the property, accidents can happen. And when these issues arise, it is essential to have the proper insurance to cover everyone involved. General liability coverage and worker’s compensation coverage ensure that any worker who gets hurt on the job is taken care of and the client is never left to cover the cost of damage to their property that was inadvertently caused by a licensed and insured contractor.
Professionalism: Sadly, there are people who take advantage of others as a way to earn a living. They might take deposits and never show up to provide the work, they could use substandard building materials, damage the property, or simply refuse to complete a project. These are all tactics used by unlicensed workers who claim to be contractors. When these issues arise, they just disappear, leaving the property owner with a mess and likely a large financial loss. When a contractor is licensed, they have provided all their contact information, they have dedicated time and money to earning their license, and they will not risk that investment and their good name with these dishonest and unprofessional actions.
