To get the best value and the smoothest service from a hired home service contractor in Alaska, consider these tips:
Confirm the sales person works for the contracting company you have contacted in Alaska. Ask for a copy of the company's license. Ask for proof of insurance. Finalize the contract before starting on a project. Make payments to the company that was referred, not to an individual. Avoid paying with cash as this leaves no record that payment was made. Withhold final payment until you are satisfied with the project. Don't advance money for materials. However, a deposit may be required. Check multiple references including the local Better Business Bureau in Alaska. Document all changes made to the contract as the project progresses.
