Better Business Bureau
Homeowners need to understand that the Better Business Bureau is NOT a
government agency, and has no power to enforce any laws. They are a
private, not-for-profit organization that requires businesses to pay
a membership fee in order to join. The same thing applies to local
Chamber of Commerce groups. These groups are useless when it comes
to verification of contractors as being licensed or not.
The Better Business Bureau is no guarantee. Some people recommend
checking the Contractor's Name and license number with the Better
Business Bureau (BBB). This WILL NOT protect you against being
scammed by illegitimate contractors. Also, many legitimate licensed
contractors are not member of the BBB.
The best bet is to contact the City of Des Plaines at
847-391-5380 and ask if the contractor in question has a license to
operate within the City.
