When you need a new roof or other repairs completed on your Minnesota home, you want a reliable
contractor to perform the work. It can be daunting to find a contractor you can trust, but there are ways
to choose a quality exterior specialist. The Contractors Association of Minnesota (CAM) has extremely
high standards for its members, making it a great place to find a local, trustworthy contractor. Here are
a few reasons homeowners should choose a CAM contractor for their next exterior home project.
Experienced and Established Contractors
CAM members must have established themselves before they can join. All CAM Voting Members have
been in business for at least three years – you do not want a new contractor that may not be around
when it comes time to finish your project. They must have performed work under the same name and
must be licensed and operating as an entity other than a sole proprietor.
CAM Contractors Are Licensed and Bonded
All CAM contractors are required to meet all legal standards for contractors in Minnesota. They must be
licensed and bonded, as well as acquire the permits and meet all state, county, and city codes when
performing work.
Meet High Ethical Standards
There are unscrupulous contractors, especially in the storm restoration industry. CAM contractors
participate in outreach and charitable programs that help homeowners in need. They also are prohibited
from the practice of “partnering” or working as a business “set,” which is how some out-of-state corrupt
contractors or “storm chasers” can gain the trust of homeowners by using the name of a local
contractor.
CAM contractors are required to commit to follow these best practices. If you are looking for a
contractor that is committed to earning a stellar reputation by performing quality work, our list of CAM
contractors is an excellent place to start. Visit the consumer area of our website to perform a contractor
