How to Verify a Professional

Insurance

Request a Certificate of Insurance (COI) for general liability (at least $500K) and workers' compensation. Contact the insurer directly to verify coverage dates and limits—don't trust just the document.

Licensing

References

Insist on 3-5 recent references from Little Rock or Dillon County jobs. Call them yourself to ask about work quality, arrival times, cleanup, and if they'd hire again.
