A. Barcelona Reform<\/span>as<\/a>, we prioritize transparency: our tax identification number (CIF), company registration certificate, liability insurance policy, in-house staff, and references are always available to the client. Don’t rely solely on reviews or photos: request documentation and verify the company’s years in business, number of employees, and insurance coverage. If you wish, we can send you all the documentation before the visit.<\/p>\r\nRed Flags<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n- The company is not registered with the Companies Registry or its incorporation year is very recent, yet its website claims 20, 25, or 30 years of experience.<\/li>\r\n

- Demands high upfront payments without a contract (over 30% for small projects, more debatable for larger ones).<\/li>\r\n
- Doesn’t have a physical address (only a mobile phone or “virtual office”).<\/li>\r\n
- Vague budget or “fixed price” without itemized breakdowns.<\/li>\r\n

- Proposes cash payments or payments outside of the invoice.<\/li>\r\n
- Insists on subcontracting without identifying who will actually do the work.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
