What should I check before hiring an electrician for a rental?

How do I verify a Missouri electrical contractor license?

Missouri statewide electrical contractor licensing is administered by the Division of Professional Registration. Kansas City recognizes that statewide license for permits. Confirm the license is current before you sign anything.

How do I judge punctuality and communication from reviews?

Look for reviews that mention whether the pro arrived when promised and returned calls. Check the pro's responsiveness during your quote conversation, since that often predicts how they will communicate later. Treat any review you cannot verify with caution.
