## Section 2 What our sheets check in every state

### Contractor licenses

Many trades need a state license. We check each one on the state's public license lookup and show the date we checked.

### Insurance

We ask for a current certificate and mark the field *Not provided* until we have one.

### Deposits and payment terms

Large deposits often come with legal deadlines. The sheet shows what the business takes up front, if it has told us.

### Warranties

We record what the warranty covers and for how long, and whether we've seen the document.
