New Mexico roofer cautions residents using out of state contractors
EL PASO, TX (KTSM) – A roofing firm primarily based out of Las Cruces needs to guarantee that if a roofing firm in El Paso crosses the border into New Mexico, they accomplish that with the proper licensing.
Within the state of New Mexico by legislation you have to be a licensed contractor within the state in case you want to work on roofs within the neighborhood. the co-owner of Roof Proper LLC, Shane Meeks, says that he has recognized about El Paso corporations crossing over and dealing on houses regardless of the rule
“Some contractors which might be from exterior of New Mexico corresponding to El Paso have come right here and tried to contract with the householders to do the roof the one downside with that’s that they’re not licensed in New Mexico or insured.”
Meeks says some householders he has spoken with are literally unaware of this legislation which may probably price them sooner or later.
“If a home-owner contracts with an organization that doesn’t have a New Mexico contractor’s license and the work being carried out right here is seen by one of many constructing inspectors right here within the metropolis of Santa Theresa or Sunland Park then they really take away the employees from right here after the home-owner has already made a fee to the contractor and who is aware of if that cash would come again to the contractor.”
Meeks says the aim of informing householders about this rule is in order that they know the danger of working with an El Paso roofer and who is definitely allowed to work on their houses.
“Ensuring that every one the householders are knowledgeable from what they see right here on the information and from indicators which might be posted right here at each to the neighborhood that New Mexico contractors are the one ones that may carry out work right here.”
