I have a remodel/addition for which I have pulled the permit, and will be performing some of the work (plumbing, radiant heat, electrical), and have lined up licensed contractors for the HVAC and roofing.
I am also hiring a contractor for the demo, framing, windows, trim, and to manage a few other unlicensed trades (drywall, paint, etc). I was referred to a guy by my architect friend, whom he crossed paths with on a prior project.
He indicates he is not a licensed contractor, but that he carries liability and worker's compensation for the guys working for him. He has a web presence which shows he typically performs this type of work, so there is no question he is legitimate.
The work is scheduled to begin mid next week, and I have been thinking through the liability aspects recently and need some additional information. While I will try and consult with an attorney, I'd like to do some research this weekend on the topic.
Can anyone refer me to any resources where I might learn more on the topic?
I'm also trying to understand that if he, as the owner of the LLC, does not have workman's comp for himself, if his personal injury liability sits on me as the homeowner/GC, and what homeowner's insurance I need to ensure I have in place for personal injury of a contractor.
