Choosing a Contractor

Overview
Choosing a contractor can be the most important decision you make in the construction process.

In Roselle, plumbing, electrical and roofing contractors are required to have either a state or local license. The general contractor and any subcontractors are required to have a license issued by the Village.

Choosing a Contractor
When choosing a contractor, ask friends, relatives, neighbors or business associates for recommendations about contractors they have used and found to be competent and reputable.
