The Atlantic hurricane season begins tomorrow on June 1 and continues through November 30. The Office of Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch and the Mississippi State Board of Contractors (MSBOC) shared tips with Mississippians who might be in need of assistance from contractors for home and business damage due to the storms. Confirm with the permit office that the contractor has acquired them before construction begins. Request a Certificate of Insurance from the contractor and verify it is valid by contacting the party who issued it. Consumers can verify if the contractor is properly licensed by using the CONTRACTOR SEARCH feature at www.msboc.us or by calling MSBOC at 800-880-6161.
