Three official checks take ten minutes and catch most bad quotes: is the contractor licensed, does the job need a permit, and who actually owns the property. These are the offices for Cook County and IL:

Contractor / professional licence
Illinois IDFPR license lookup
Building permits & inspections
Chicago Department of Buildings
Property ownership & assessed value
Cook County Assessor
Recorded deeds, liens & mortgages
Cook County Clerk Recordings
What HouseIQ does not do in Chicago: we do not have local staff, we do not call contractors "verified", and we do not pull permits for you. We check the paperwork you have and keep the record straight.
