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 contractor? insurance coverage and make sure the coverage is current. Contractors should have personal liability, worker? 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 contractor? 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 Mississippi (MS):
First explored for Spain by Hernando De Soto, who discovered the Mississippi River in 1540, the region was later claimed by France. In 1699, a French group under Sieur d'Iberville established the first permanent settlement near present-day Ocean Springs. Great Britain took over the area in 1763 after the French and Indian Wars, ceding it to the U.S. in 1783 after the Revolution. Spain did not relinquish its claims until 1798, and in 1810 the U.S. annexed West Florida from Spain, including what is now southern Mississippi. For a little more than one hundred years, from shortly after the state's founding through the Great Depression, cotton was the undisputed king of Mississippi's largely agrarian economy. Over the last half-century, however, Mississippi has diversified its economy by balancing agricultural output with increased industrial activity. Today, agriculture continues as a major segment of the state's economy. For almost four decades soybeans occupied the most acreage, while cotton remained the largest cash crop. In 2001, however, more acres of cotton were planted than soybeans, and Mississippi jumped to second in the nation in cotton production (exceeded only by Texas). The state's farmlands also yield important harvests of corn, peanuts, pecans, rice, sugar cane, and sweet potatoes as well as poultry, eggs, meat animals, dairy products, feed crops, and horticultural crops. Mississippi remains the world's leading producer of pond-raised catfish. The state abounds in historical landmarks and is the home of the Vicksburg National Military Park. Other National Park Service areas are Brices Cross Roads National Battlefield Site, Tupelo National Battlefield, and part of Natchez Trace National Parkway. Pre?Civil War mansions are the special pride of Natchez, Oxford, Columbus, Vicksburg, and Jackson.
