Ny Contractors
where do i find a qualified contractor to repair or replace a second floor porch that’s in danger due to rot?
About 6 feet deep by 22 feet across. Supported on 4 metal 6″ posts. About 11 feet off the ground. The front of porch supports the building roof with 4 wood posts. The metal posts supporting the porch are right at the village sidewalk.
It’s locate in Voorheesville, NY 10 miles southwest of Albany.
At least 15 contractors have looked at the job. Most say they’re too busy right now (for last 3 months) some say it’s too big a job for them. Several have said they could do it but I can’t get a written commitment, or price. Many don’t even return calls.
To get a permit to do the work requires:
1. Either proof of worker’s compensation (WC) coverage OR written confirmation that WC is not needed because contractor has no employees.
2. Liability coverage naming me as additional insured.
3. sketch of work to be done.
4. Signed contract.
There is ALWAYS someone who is willing to do the work and will do a good job. Typically this person does not advertise and works on referral. Continue to ask your neighbors and friends and local supply stores (not Home Depot) and you will come up with someone.
The insurance you speak of is typical and all licensed guys can provide this.
