Our dishwasher broke just before a holiday weekend when we were having relatives over for lunch.
We needed to get a repairman asap to get it fixed.
Now, it's bad enough getting someone in that can do a good job for you and not charge you an arm or a leg, but also how to you know if you can trust them in your house.
Do you have to stand there and watch them like I did or can you screen them before they come intoyour house.
I hadn't really considered it before but you can do a background record check on anyone you want.
You can check the public records yourself.
Many companies advertise that the workers are licensed and bonded.
However there is a turnover in the industry and the record checks may all not be up to date.
In order to feel safe about letting workers into your home you should do your own due diligence - perform an on line record check - its fast and easy.
This way you will feel more comfortable with the people that are working in your home.
Consider our dishwasher repair man.
My wife was going to be home one afternoon so I scheduled it when she was available to let them into the house.
When I told her about it indicated that she was a little uncomfortable being alone with a stranger.
I ended up taking half a vacation day off myself and letting her get some errands done that had been put off.
The best thing you can do is to protect yourself, check the public records and possibly prevent a dangerous situation from occurring.
You can access all federal and local records that are available in a matter of seconds.
The searches are fast confidential, and can even alert you to liens, court judgments, bankruptcies, and arrest warrants.
You can even conduct the background record check while you have the individual or company on the line, before they are hired or allowed to access your home.
You need to protect yourself, the criminals won't help you, so take the few minutes time to protect your home and family from potential headaches and worse!
