Frequently asked questions
- It’s important that you verify their license is still in good standing. Also keep in mind that certain states or provinces don’t require licensing if the job is under a certain dollar amount.
- You can find a list of your state’s licensing requirements on the HomeAdvisor website. Before you get to work with the pro, make sure their qualifications are current and acceptable to you.
- It is always a good idea to get a copy of the pro’s insurance certificate for future records, and in case anything happens. This is a good way to feel more secure in your home project, and to weed out potential scammers.
HomeAdvisor makes it easy to connect with pros near you. You can read reviews, get quotes and book appointments all in one place.
Depending on the type of project, you may find subtle differences in the hiring process. Here’s a look at task-specific advice.
You can use HomeAdvisor to help evaluate a contractor’s qualifications. We put pros through a screening process, and award badges to high-performing contractors. You can find these badges on a pro’s HomeAdvisor profile, and sometimes, his or her website.
Your research doesn’t stop here. Once you’ve found a few prospective companies, make an call to ask a few questions about work history, licensure and more:
- Have you completed a job like this before?
- Do you have a list of references I can contact?
- When are you able to start the job?
In most cases, the responses you get to these three questions will give you a very good idea of the right pro for your project. If you have more than one front-runner, these additional questions can help you narrow it down.
- How many years of experience do you have?
- What’s your permanent business address?
- Are you licensed to work in my area?
- When did you earn your business license?
- How do you handle warranty service complaints?
- Do you have worker’s compensation, property damage and personal liability insurance?
Any good contractor will answer these questions, and most will appreciate dealing with a client that takes such an active interest in finding good service. On the other hand, if a contractor gives you a hard time with these questions, you probably want to find someone else.

I have a house under contract that is closing soon and need to get quotes asap since the last contractor fell through. It is a single family row home in West Philadelphia that needs a full renovation but a rental grade rehab. Would need new HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and there is noticeable sloping from the outside in the back of house. In the back bedroom on the inside there is sloping which appears that it needs subflooring. It is 4 beds, 1 full bath and 2 half. Basement needs water proofing as it is moisture down there. Would like to expand the full bath and reduce the adjacent bedroom to an office room. First contractor made a budget of around 150k but need additional estimates as closing is June 23rd. Contractor is not available to do the house.Project Location: Philadelphia, PA Date: 06/19/23Desired Completion Date: Timing is flexibleRequest Stage: Ready to HireWhat best describes this project?: Several repair projects of varying natureWork included: FlooringWork included: PaintingWork included: ElectricalWork included: FramingComment: Painting, floor and ceilingProject Location: Philadelphia, PA Date: 06/19/23Desired Completion Date: Less than 2 monthsRequest Stage: Ready to HireWhat best describes this project?: OtherWork included: DrywallWork included: PlumbingWork included: RoofingWork included: SidingWork included: Heating and coolingWork included: FlooringWork included: CountertopsWork included: Doors and windowsWork included: PaintingWork included: TileWork included: ElectricalWork included: Deck, Porch or PatioWork included: Carpentry-finishWork included: InsulationWork included: FramingWork included: CabinetsProject Location: Philadelphia, PA Date: 06/19/23Desired Completion Date: Less than 2 monthsRequest Stage: Ready to HireWhat best describes this project?: Several repair projects of varying natureWork included: DrywallWork included: Doors and windowsWork included: ElectricalWork included: Deck, Porch or PatioComment: Got a violation list from L+I in Philadelphia for my home, need to cure violationsProject Location: Philadelphia, PA Date: 06/19/23Desired Completion Date: Less than 2 monthsRequest Stage: Ready to HireWhat best describes this project?: Several repair projects of varying natureWork included: PlumbingWork included: RoofingWork included: FlooringWork included: FencingWork included: CountertopsWork included: PaintingWork included: TileWork included: ElectricalComment: I have a home that need flooring, bathroom need to get fix kitchen need work.
