Here are some tips for selecting a General Contractor:

• How long has the contractor been in business?
• Is the contractor licensed and registered with the state?
• Ask for copies of the contractorÌs insurance coverage and make sure the coverage is current. Contractors should have personal liability, workerÌs compensation, and property damage coverage.
• How many projects like yours has the contractor done? Ask for a list.
• What kind of permits will your project require? Getting the permits is the contractorÌs job; be suspicious if he suggests you get the permits.
• Ask for a list of references. Get names, addresses and phone numbers of at least three. Speak with the references and go to see the jobs.
• Ask if the general contractor will be hiring subcontractors. If so, meet them and check their insurance and licenses. The general contractor must pay them on time, or they could put a lien on your home. So, protect yourself by asking the contractor, and every subcontractor and supplier, for a lien release or lien waiver.
• If you are looking for several small jobs, it may be wiser to hire a handyman.

About Washington, DC :
The location of the nation's capital was a source of contention from the beginning. Just as cities now vie for professional athletic teams or maybe the Olympics, in the 1780's the great prize among the states was the national capital. Philadelphia, the wartime capital, was the leading contender. The powerful Virginia delegation wanted a location on the Potomac, with numerous other alternatives suggested. Characteristically, the solution was found in a compromise. Alexander Hamilton was floating a scheme for the new Federal government to assume the war debts of the individual states. Having hosted most of the war, Northern states had larger debts than their Southern cousins. Southern states were understandably reluctant to take on debts they didn't see as their own. The compromise came with the Southern states agreeing to assume the debts, and the Northern delegations allowing a capital in the south. The city was of course named Washington, and placed in a federal District of Columbia. The Constitution specifies a 10 mile square parcel, placed under direct control of the Congress. George Washington selected the site, a few miles up river from his home at Mt. Vernon.
