Some States do not require Licenses, but if you state is one of them stay away from unlicensed contractors. Your local Department of Commerce should have some useful information regarding Licenses of Contractors. Check them out.

-They also should have Insurance.

-Car detailing. This sounds miniscule but if a contractor is legit why wouldn’t they drive a detailed car?

-Read the small print in the contracts. If something sounds weird, ask the contractor to explain what this means.

-Signing contracts on the spot when someone knocks on your door. This sales tactic can leave you open to hiring the contractor before you even have time to check them out.
