Hire licensed contractors. THE HANDYMAN CAN!!!® INC. Proudly displays license # 20129693.

One of the first questions that my clients ask me is "Are you licensed, bonded and insured?".
To carry a license in Minnesota requires four steps.

1. The business must be registered with the Secretary of State.

2. You must pass a written examination given by the State.

3. You must show proof of insurance, satisfying the minimum $ State requirement.

4. You must put up bond $$$ with the State.

To renew the license, each year the contractor must:

1. Attend a state accredited program earning seven credits approved in the contractor field.

2. Again, show updated proof of insurance.

3. Again, put up the state required bond.

So, when a contractor carries a license, that contractor is also bonded and insured.

BEWARE!
A company or franchise may have a licensed contractor in the firm, but the person sent to your home may not be licensed.
THE HANDYMAN CAN!!!® INC. is owned and operated by one man. You deal with him only.  That would be me, John Thomas, President and CEO.
