   For documentation that the contractor will be more than happy to supply you with proof.
   For documentation that the contractor is licensed bonded and insured also make sure he has workers compensation if he has employees any reputable contractor is licensed bonded and insured also make sure he has employees any reputable contractor will.

   You better get a professional to help you.
   We can give you “general advice”, but, they can give you “Professional advice”
   Never mind paying a bit more- rather than getting into “troubles” when your project starts
