A. Get 3-5 estimates. Look up each company on several review or rating websites and look for lots of reviews and a good rating. When you meet with each estimator look for good manners, no pushy sales tactics (never sign a contract on the spot!) and a genuine interest in meeting your goals for the job.
A. Avoid low bidders. Since the downturn in new construction, the remodeling market has been glutted with crews who provide prices that are well below what it takes to stay in business and provide a quality service. Unfortunately these crews cut a lot of corners to be able to offer these lower prices and will not be around to honor any warranties.
Ask a lot of questions. With any job you want the contract to reflect your needs and concerns and the better your estimator knows your needs and concerns the better your job will go. When you receive the written contract/estimate make sure that those items are accounted for.
A. 1. Always get a copy of license and insurance.
2. Ask if they are certified with the manufacturer(s) of the products they intend to install. (this shows that they are serious about their business)
3. Ask for 3-5 references and contact them
4. Ask them to provide a detailed written estimate
5. Ask them how long they've been in business
Usually a good company will volunteer most of this information. If the estimator becomes defensive move on. You'll get a sense of the company through the estimator. A good company is comfortable in it's own skin and doesn't brag or put down it's competitors.
A. It's a good idea to do some research on your intended project before you contact a company for an estimate. Being well armed with information helps you better know what you want for your job and will give you informed questions to ask an estimator. If an estimator seems annoyed that you know so much or ask so many questions you'll know that you should move on.
