Hey seems great, and has a great portfolio, etc. He is also working on my moms neighbors house, and seems to be doing a great job. I want to use him for an expansion on my living room. How do I check out any complaints or anything like that? Here are his details: Compac Development, Inc. Richard J. Park, President - Lic# 394478 General Contractors/Custom home builder 7802 Kelley Circle, La Palma, CA 90623 Can someone please help me check out whether this guy has had any complaints, lawsuits, etc.? I have no reason to suspect anything, but I would be spending a good chunk of money of this. Any help would be great, and I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much, Abner
You can ask for references from previous customers; I had a new roof put on my house a few years ago, and the contractor asked if I would be willing to be a reference, which I was glad to do, since they did a great job at a reasonable price.

Most states (have not checked them all) also require a contractor (building) to have a license. The state license board is a good place to start. You can check on the status of the license and other factors. The states contractors license board also records complaints and other issues (non-paying subs and suppliers).
