Hiring

Can I ask who the restoration contractor will subcontract the repairs to?

Yes. Ask which tasks are in-house, which are subcontracted, and who supervises and stands behind each part. Request subcontractor names, relevant experience and evidence of current insurance and any required trade licenses. Verify licensing requirements and status with the appropriate local or state authority rather than treating an advertisement as proof. Illinois consumer guidance also advises asking about subcontractor payment and obtaining appropriate payment evidence and lien waivers. Subcontracting is not itself a quality problem; clear responsibility, qualified trades and documented payment arrangements matter.
