| Building a new home or remodeling an existing one is an exciting and challenging project for homeowners. The decision to
build is a choice that requires careful planning. But equally important is choosing a builder who is a professional. A recent
Attorney General's decision makes operating without a license a criminal offense and punishable by law.

Only you can decide which builder is right for you. The benefits of employing a Licensed Contractor are many, and the most
important benefit is the assurance that the job will be done correctly. The local Building Code Authority inspects every
Licensed Contractor’s work. This "third party" provides an independent review of the workmanship on your project.
As a Licensed Contractor we always retain the necessary building permits in our own name (unless instructed otherwise by
the homeowner). Therefore, we are legally responsible for the correct construction of the permitted project, NOT THE HOMEOWNER
OR BUSINESS OWNER.

| It’s a good idea to always ask to see the contractor's license. It must be in his/her name. Also, check for the proper insurance
coverage. Contractors in the State of Michigan who employ more than one full time employee are required by law to have workman's
compensation insurance. Improper insurance coverage could result in your paying the bill for any injury. Ask for a certificate
from your contractor. Don't forget, a Licensed and Insured Contractor is your assurance to a finished project. The costs
of permits are always cheaper than an UNFINISHED or UNSAFE building.
