How to choose locksmiths in Philadelphia
- Ask for the contractor's Pennsylvania Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) registration number. It's required for most home improvement work over $500 and must appear on contracts and ads.
- Get at least three written estimates that list materials, labor, timeline and cleanup.
- Ask for proof of liability insurance and, if they have employees, workers' compensation coverage.
- Check whether the job needs a permit in Philadelphia and who will pull it. A good contractor handles this for you.
- Never pay the full price up front. A reasonable deposit followed by payments tied to progress protects you.
