How to Check a Demolition Contractor’s References in Los Angeles

Be sure to check their references. It’s a solid time honored piece of advice that applies to many situations. Checking references is an essential part of hiring a new employee. We’ve all either checked references or provided references for a job. Your demolition project is a job that you’re hiring a demolition contractor to do, so checking a demolition contractor’s reference is essential part of finding the right demolition contractor in Los Angeles.

The first step is to ask your demolition contractor for two to four references. These references should be for similar jobs done in the last three to six months. Asking for references is pretty standard practice in construction and demolition. If your demolition contractor refuses to provide references then find another demolition contractor. If your demolition contractor provides letters of reference be sure to make a follow up call to the person who wrote that letter. Letters of reference can be easily forged, unfortunately.

Another tip is to check your demolition contractor’s references against their online reviews. If the references and the reviews correspond than you’ve probably found a good demolition contractor. If a demolition contractor has good references but generally poor reviews you may want to look around for another demolition contractor.
