Looking for a reputable contractor in Goodyear, Arizona?
A strong first step is to verify their license with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (AZ ROC).
Protect yourself by doing your due diligence. Each year, the ROC investigates thousands of complaints involving unlicensed entities attempting to perform contracting work. Many of these complaints involve large upfront payments with little work completed, or work that does not meet minimum industry standards.
Always Hire a Licensed and Bonded Contractor
The Arizona ROC serves two core functions:
- Licensing contractors
- Regulating licensed contractors
For licensing, the ROC reviews whether contractors have the required experience, training, and knowledge to qualify, then issues the appropriate credentials.
ROC’s Most Wanted Unlicensed Entities
AZ ROC maintains a list of approximately 10 individuals identified as the Most Wanted Unlicensed Entities in Arizona. These are individuals who are often associated with poor workmanship, abandoned jobs, active warrants, or other serious consumer-related violations.
If you recognize these individuals, contact local law enforcement to help protect Arizona consumers.
Consumer Tips Before You Hire
- Be cautious with door-to-door solicitors offering unusually low-cost construction services.
- Always verify that your contractor is licensed and bonded through the ROC.
- Obtain multiple bids or estimates and ask for references.
- Get a written contract that includes:
- Scope of services
- Contractor license number
- Start date and completion date
