What are the risks associated with using an unlicensed general contractor? |
Using an unlicensed general contractor (GC) and many types of speciality contractors puts you at extreme risk! Consider the following:
- Using an unlicensed GC is actually illegal in the state of Georgia. You may be fined and prosecuted under criminal charges.
- You can jeopardize your insurance or the re-sale value of your building or home, since the blueprints of your property cannot include work performed by an unlicensed GC.
- You can put the safety of your employees or family at risk. (i.e. someone could get hurt as a result of a faulty work.)
- If you have a problem or sued, you have no recourse, since an unlicensed GC is not insured and they can't lose a license they don't have. In fact, the GC may actually be able to sue you if someone is hurt while performing work!
You don't have to take our word for it. Simply search Google and read the horror stories for yourself! In short, save yourself thousands of wasted dollars by avoiding unlicensed GCs at all costs!
