EDMONTON, Alberta, May 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- When the weather warms up, homeowners turn their attention outdoors. Finding a reputable landscaper in Edmonton can be a daunting task, especially with so many unlicensed ‘contractors’ advertising their services online.
“It’s pretty common for homeowners to hire a friend or family member, or even someone they find on Kijiji, to work on their home improvement projects,” said Keith Riley, Founder of RenovationFind.com. “The problem with this is that lack of experience and not having proper insurance or licensing can have serious implications. Anyone that works on your home, inside and out, should have a business license, insurance and WBC coverage.”
While word-of-mouth and online reviews can be helpful, they are not always accurate, and these recommendations might not be a reliable enough reference.
