Hi,
Always get a Certificate of Insurance, as the contractor will contact his Insurance Agent and have the agency to send you one with your name and address on it.
Be careful !
I was an Insurance Agent for over 25 years and seen lots of things!

Handyman is known in town, reliable (word of mouth) and lives down the street. I drove around and took a look at some of his work and he's not bad.
So...do I keep looking and go with a handyman, find a different insured handyman, or go with a contractor who will charge me about 9K more. I'm thinking current handyman gets insured or I go with a different insured handyman.
Handyman price = $6,000.
Big Guy price = $14,500.
sigh.......
