Being a contractor I would not have any problem showing you my insurance documents or workmans comp policy. Which I pay a ton of money for, but i feel in my line of work is nesesary to be able to make clients feel confident in useing my service. This is my first year in buisness and I think with the type of work and the quality I show in my work , my customers have been quite pleased.
Sorry for hijacking the thread with my ramblings. I would just like to say that not all contractors are the same!

i'll second that on "not every contractors are the same" i have some of my regular customers pay me for the job before i even begin because i have a great realtionship with them or there leaving town or whatever. Also for myself and how i operate my business i come with insurance certificates and REFERENCES. sorry you got into this situation have you thought about the Attorney Generals Office?
