Illinois has no single statewide general-contractor license, so requirements for plumbing work in Rockford come from the Illinois (general contracting is licensed locally; plumbers via IDPH) and local rules. Always confirm insurance coverage and any trade-specific licenses before signing.
What warranty should I expect on plumbing work in Rockford?
Expect two layers: a manufacturer warranty on materials and a workmanship warranty from the company itself. Get both in writing from any Rockford provider, including what is covered, for how long, and who to call.
What insurance should a Rockford plumbing company carry?
At minimum: general liability insurance and, if the company has employees, workers' compensation. Ask any Rockford provider for a certificate of insurance and confirm it is current - without it, an on-site injury or property damage can become your problem.
