Hiring Someone to Clean or Repair Your Grill?

Your barbecue grill is not a toy. It’s a high performance gas appliance that can leak gas, catch fire, or even explode if mishandled. That’s why it’s critical that only trusted, trained, insured professionals work on it under supervision of experienced experts. 
HOME OWNER ADVISORY!
Read important information below.

General Liability

Do you want to be responsible for damage or injuries? Working on a gas barbecue is no joke. Your BBQ can blow up and cause significant harm. ​If an appliance repair company doesn’t have general liability insurance and damages your property—or someone gets hurt—you could be stuck paying for it. 

Without proper coverage, you may  even risk being pulled into a lawsuit.

Workmans Comp Insurance

Is the person you hired insured if they get hurt on your property? If an ​amateur you hire gets injured on the homeowner’s property and the company lacks workers’ comp insurance, the injured worker may sue YOU, the homeowner directly for damages.

In addition, your homeowner’s home insurance may not cover this type of claim, or coverage could be denied if the insurer finds out you hired an uninsured company.

Commercial Auto Insurance

Do you really want to trust someone using their personal car? If a technician drives their personal vehicle to your job without commercial auto insurance and gets into an accident, you could be held responsible. 

Their personal insurance might not cover it, and that means you could be dragged into the lawsuit.

Be cautious of new companies on Yelp that have very few reviews or a rating below 4.0.

Some use copied material and artificial intelligence to make themselve​​s sound impressive, even if their actual service doesn’t match the hype.
