This contractor list is intended as a tool to help homeowners. Homeowners should never depend on a single tool. Instead they should use all tools available and then depend only on their own common sense to make a buying decision. Since the contractor list is based entirely on opinions of the homeowners interviewed, the DCFW Board makes no predictions or guarantees, express or implied, about the quality of any of the work a contractor will provide. Nor does the DCFW Board accept any liability whatsoever for any harm that may come from the using the services of a contractor included on the list. Any person or entity that utilizes the services of a contractor included on this list does so at his or her own risk.
