Did You Let A Felon Into Your Home? Unlicensed Workers Caught In Sting, Have Legal History

Did You Let A Felon Into Your Home? Unlicensed Workers Caught In Sting

, Have Legal History

When did stealing become an epidemic with the people in the construction field?

I just finished painting the home of a very prestigious Lawyer. Upon completion of his home he thanked me for an outstanding job. He then went on to share a multitude of his clients Unlicensed Contractors and illegal workers horror stories. The F.B.I. is currently investigating unlicensed workers and contractors in Nevada. The next time an unlicensed contractor or illegal worker shows up to perform an estimate they may have shown up at a "STING Operation" home. If convicted of working with out a license, the Nevada State Contractors Board has the ability to fine up to 250,000.00 dollars for each breach of the Nevada Contractors Laws and a Felony charge to boot. What is the BIG deal you ask?.....What if the story went like this.. In theory, an unlicensed worker could use their cell phone camera to document all of the home owner's personnel information; if the home owner questioned the unlicensed worker they would need a subpoena to see the information on the "unlicensed workers" cell phone. If a licensed contractor was questioned about the same issue, a representative of the Nevada State Contractors Board would be dispatched to the jobsite to access the situation and help the home owner. Knowing who you are letting in your home is very important. Gang Activity have risen statistically in the construction field due to construction companies laying off full time licensed contractors and paying cash for "legal" temp workers.

"Speaking of employment, MS-13 members typically work for legitimate businesses by presenting false documentation. They primarily pick employers that don't scrutinize employment documents, especially inconstruction, restaurant, delivery service, and landscaping industries."

F.B.I.

Many "Temp Agencies" do not require drug tests, background checks, or third party verification of employment information provided. Quality of work is reduced to the ability of the "Temp worker" to perform at the level of a contractor. I have been employed on several jobsites with Temp workers who smelled as if they had just arrived from Fraternity Party. A Contractor is required by the State of Nevada to have a minimum of 5 years in his or her trade before they may apply for a contractor license. A Nevada State Contractor must successfully pass stringent testing and an F.B.I. background test before they can work in the State of Nevada.

Here is some free information for homeowners:

Put away all bills and bank statements

Put away your mail

Check all the window locks and doors after workers leave

Give a glass of drink on a tray to all workers who are in your home and save the glasses for 60 in the garage

Please ask to see the Contractors License

Use your cell phone to take a photo of the workers driver's licenses

Get a photo of the cars the workers arrive in. (License plate, model etc.)

Shut all doors the workers do not need to enter into

Have a bathroom prepared for the workers (remove all medication)

Tell your family or neighbor when workers will be in your home.

Disconnect your home phone from the wall (They can not call their own phone and get your number)

Carry your cell phone at all times while workers are in your home.

Do not leave the T.V. , or radio on to cover up construction sounds (You want to know what they are doing and where they are)

Have the children stay with a friend until the workers leave each day

Do not leave your drink out of site (To easy to put things into it)

Turn off computers (they can email themselves and get your I.P.)

Hire ONLY Licensed Nevada State Contractors.
