How do I verify a contractor is licensed?

Start by asking the contractor directly for their license number and the issuing authority. Licensing is trade-specific: plumbers and HVAC mechanics are typically licensed through your state's plumbing and mechanical systems licensing board; electrical contractors are licensed through your state's electrical licensing authority; general construction contractors register with your state licensing board. You can look up license status online through your state's professional licensing bureau online or through your state's contractor registration database. Before any work begins, also ask for a current certificate of general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. Confirm the coverage limits are adequate for your project—at minimum $1 million in general liability. EdgeLocal profiles include ratings and direct contact info, but license verification must be confirmed directly with the contractor and the relevant state agency.

Should I get multiple quotes from contractors?

Yes—always get at least two or three quotes before hiring any contractor for significant work. Multiple quotes let you compare price, scope, materials, and timeline, and help you spot outliers: a quote significantly lower than others may indicate missing scope or cut corners, while a much higher quote may not be justified. When collecting quotes, give each contractor a clear description of the project so you can make accurate comparisons. Ask each to break out labor and materials separately when possible, and confirm what's included: demolition, permits, materials, cleanup, and warranty. Ask for estimated start dates and project duration as well. Use EdgeLocal to quickly find several rated contractors in your area so you can start the quote process without extensive additional research.

Needed a troubleshoot/replacment for what was a bad gcfi - had initially scheduled service with another vendor, who failed to meet their appointent window. I should have contacted Brandenburg Electric first - funny how things work out. Kevin W. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The service was excellent..  Devin arrived on time and fixed our electrical issues within 2 hours.. I would recommend this company if you have any issues... Michelle B. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have a dryer that initially I had been told that I just needed an electrician to fix the problem. It involved the circuit breaker. After spending weeks calling Horn Electric, Huffer Electric and Dixie Electric, I never received a call back from anybody. So, out of desperation, I contacted Brandenburg Electric and they had an electrician here within 5 minutes. Robbie arrived with everything. He quickly diagnosed the problem.  About 2 days later, The manager came back to explain everything. I will be going from 1950 lighting( which I currently have and the age of the house ) to modern day electric. If you need an electrician, I would highly recommend Brandenburg Electric. They are very professional, will not waste time, are very quick to diagnose the problem and are very honest and upfront with you about any questions or concerns you may have. As of this writing, we are in the beginning stages, however the bottom line is, if you need an electrician choose Brandenburg Electric. A+ rating.
