When planning a home renovation or repair project, choosing the right contractor is one of the most important decisions a homeowner can make. Hiring a reputable, experienced professional ensures high-quality work, protects your investment, and gives you peace of mind. The York Builders Association (YBA) is here to help homeowners find trusted, local, and insured contractors who are committed to excellence.
Why It’s Important to Vet Contractors
Unfortunately, not all contractors operate with the same level of professionalism and integrity. Hiring an unqualified or uninsured contractor can lead to costly mistakes, unfinished work, and even legal issues. Proper vetting helps homeowners:
- Avoid scams and subpar workmanship
- Ensure updated home improvement contractor registration
- Ensure proper insurance coverage
- Get fair pricing and contracts that protect their rights

Why YBA Members Are Trustworthy
York Builders Association members must adhere to professional guidelines, ensuring you receive top-tier service. Additionally, YBA requires that contractor members must be registered with the PA Attorney General’s office, holding a current HIC (Home Improvement Contractor) number. You can verify HICPA registration online or by calling 1.800.520.6680. Learn more about what makes our members stand out by watching our Home Improvement Consumer (HIC) Protection video.
