Some of the biggest problems with contractors can be easily avoided by simply checking out the contractor first and making sure that you’re hiring a reputable, well established and professional contractor.

While most states license electrical and plumbing contractors, only 36 states have some type of licensing and registration statutes affecting contractors, remodelers, and/or specialty contractors. The licensing can range from simple registration to a detailed qualification process. Also, the licensing requirements in one locality may be different from the requirements in the rest of the state.

Check with your local building department or consumer protection agency to find out about licensing requirements in your area. If your state has licensing laws, ask to see the contractor’s license and make sure that it’s current.

Since not all states require licensing you may have no choice in hiring an unlicensed contractor. This can still work out if you know what you are doing and he knows what he’s doing. The license doesn’t necessarily mean you get expertise, but it does mean you get leverage.

Pantone Matching System* (PMS) is the color specification standard for screen printing and painting of acrylic plastic.

Process color – percentages of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black (CMYK) is a color specification standard for digital printing and electronic art.

Acrylic Polyurethane (MAP or Grip Gard) is a material specification standard for painting metal including aluminum.

Note:
Color matches can vary due to many factors including humidity level, viscosity of ink, different production runs and application of ink onto different substrates. The specification of a PMS color to be applied onto acrylic plastic or onto a metal surface may slightly vary when compared to the same PMS color which is printed on white coated paper stock. The compatibility of coating material with material to be coated is critical to the production of a quality sign product.
