"Yes, I am licensed and insured." If a person knocking at your door tells you this, it most likely means he has a drivers license and his truck is insured. Always ask to see their contractors license, bond and insurance, especially workers comp. If he falls off ladder and is not insured, guess who he will sue? Get yourself a good No Soliciting sign for entryway. Always check with free service Seniors vs Crime. They will let you know of any complaints or actions regarding a contractor or individual.
Seniors vs Crime in The Villages. Ask your neighbors who they have used. If your Village as an "official" Facebook page, join it and ask who folks have used. Attend the VHA meetings throughout the year. Lot's of good information there especially the one for New Residents.
