Here are some tips for selecting a General Contractor:

• How long has the contractor been in business?
• Is the contractor licensed and registered with the state?
• Ask for copies of the contractorÌs insurance coverage and make sure the coverage is current. Contractors should have personal liability, workerÌs compensation, and property damage coverage.
• How many projects like yours has the contractor done? Ask for a list.
• What kind of permits will your project require? Getting the permits is the contractorÌs job; be suspicious if he suggests you get the permits.
• Ask for a list of references. Get names, addresses and phone numbers of at least three. Speak with the references and go to see the jobs.
• Ask if the general contractor will be hiring subcontractors. If so, meet them and check their insurance and licenses. The general contractor must pay them on time, or they could put a lien on your home. So, protect yourself by asking the contractor, and every subcontractor and supplier, for a lien release or lien waiver.
• If you are looking for several small jobs, it may be wiser to hire a handyman.

About Illinois (IL):
French explorers Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet, in 1673, were the first Europeans of record to visit the region. In 1699 French settlers established the first permanent settlement at Cahokia, near present-day East St. Louis. Great Britain obtained the region at the end of the French and Indian Wars in 1763. The area figured prominently in frontier struggles during the Revolutionary War and in Indian wars during the early 19th century. Significant episodes in the state's early history include the influx of settlers following the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825; the Black Hawk War, which virtually ended the Indian troubles in the area; and the rise of Abraham Lincoln from farm laborer to president. Today, Illinois stands high in manufacturing, coal mining, agriculture, and oil production. The state's manufactures include food and agricultural products, transportation equipment, chemicals, industrial machinery, and computer equipment. The sprawling Chicago district (including a slice of Indiana) is a great iron and steel producer, meat packer, grain exchange, and railroad center. Chicago is also famous as a Great Lakes port. Illinois is a leading producer of soybeans, corn, and hogs. Other agricultural commodities include cattle, wheat, oats, sorghum, and hay.
