What to do before you hire in South Carolina
- Ask for the licence number and check it yourself against South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (LLR): Contractor's Licensing Board (commercial general + mechanical) and Residential Builders Commission (residential). 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.
