Check the contractor information

Before choosing an electrician, check the contractor’s current license and ask for current insurance information. Make sure the name you are checking matches the business that will take on your project. StarTech Electric’s Texas electrical contractor number is TECL #31647.

Ask about the actual work

Describe the job, whether it is a replacement or a new installation, and any access constraints. Ask who will carry out the work, what the quote includes and how any applicable permit or inspection process will be handled.

Keep the project clear

A useful conversation ends with an understood scope, the next step and a way to ask questions. A license number alone does not describe an insurance policy or guarantee the outcome of a particular job. Ask for the information relevant to your property before work begins.
