Advice on How to Hire a Pro From Rob Rice Homes - ThurstonTalk

Taking the time to vet and hire a qualified professional can save a lot of money and aggravation compared to inept do-it-yourself efforts or hiring poorly-qualified contractors. Robb Rice Homes directs people living in its homes to Olympia Master Builders’ online directory of contractors, all of whom must be licensed and bonded in the state they operate in. OMB’s directory includes the option to contact prospective contractors directly through the site. The Washington State Department of Labor and Industries is also a good resource.

Key Takeaways:

When seeking a pro for a specific repair, it's wise to look for testimonials and reviews.
Neighborhood homeowners are a good resource to use to find a vetted professional.
Always carefully check licenses and use online sources to fact check before picking your pro.
