Out of the six Colorado roofing contractors that bid on my project, only two of them could produce papers to prove that they have insurance. I thought that this was pretty much standard among contractors these days. I guess that I was wrong or someone should inform the other four Colorado roofing contractors that it is.

I am not looking forward to having to choose between the two highest bidders. The reason that I had six different contractors give me bids is because I knew that one of them would be lots lower than all the rest. The lowest guy told me that he has never had insurance.

The bids for the vinyl siding contractors are due in tomorrow, I hope that it goes better than the roofing bids. I am thinking of having my secretary call all of the vinyl siding contractors and let them know that if they cannot produce proof of insurance, then there is no need for them to turn in their bids at all.

There is no way that I can only end up with two good bids for the vinyl siding or I may have to reopen the bids to contractors from neighboring counties to ensure a good low bid, and one that has proof of insurance.
