What to do before you hire in Connecticut
- Ask for the licence number and check it yourself against Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection (DCP), data published jointly with the Department of Administrative Services via the eLicense system. A contractor who will not give you the number is telling you something.
- Get the full scope and price in writing before any money changes hands, and never pay the full amount up front.
