Fire Recovery: Hiring a Contractor

(THEME :02 AND UNDER)

Andrews:
I'm Richard Andrews, director of the Governor's Office of Emergency Services. This is an EnvironMinute Disaster Advisory from our agency and the National Safety Council. :10

Announcer:
If fire has taken a toll on your home, you may be in the market for a contractor to make some repairs. Unfortunately, disasters can bring out home-repair rip-off artists. So shop carefully for a contractor. Ask friends, relatives, or neighbors for recommendations — and check with your insurance agent or claims adjuster. Make sure the contractor is licensed and insured. Ask for a list of satisfied customers, or call the California Contractors' State License Board: 1 (800) 321-2752. Make sure you understand all the terms of the contract. And never pay for the whole job up front or with cash. :34

Announcer:
This EnvironMinute Disaster Advisory was brought to you by the Teresa and H. John Heinz III Foundation. :05
