Residents seeking to hire a contractor should verify proper licensing and proof of insurance. Always ask to see their credentials, references from other customers, and never agree to pay the full amount for services upfront. If you suspect someone is operating as an unlicensed contractor contact the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office at (941) 747-3011.
