- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
A successful home remodeling project is dependent upon finding an ethical, reliable, competent and experienced contractor. This is where your research must be as thorough as possible, including background checks which will help to uncover any skeletons now, rather than in the middle of your project should things begin to unravel. Your work is about to begin! Hire only licensed contractors. Check with your States regulatory agency which governs the licensing and enforcement of building contractors. If you choose to hire someone without a license youre on your own. Check for a history of complaints with the Contractors Board or regulatory agency. Verify that your contractor has a good record with your States Contractors License Board. Check for any disclosed complaint history and legal actions taken against the contractor. Warning: No record of complaints against a contractor does not necessarily mean no previous or current consumer problems. Problems may exist, but may have not been fully investigated and reported. It can take up to a year before the information is made available to the public. This happened to us. Eight months into our construction nightmare, we discovered the citation notices against our contractor on the CSLBs web site that were not there when we first checked the contractors status when signing on with his company. Sadly, it becomes a darn if you do and darn if you dont, but again, it is your responsibility to check on it. Check references and follow up with the homeowners. Ask for both recent (12 months) as well as the last three years. Youll get a much better picture of the contractors current work and long-term standing with his customers. Talk to the homeowners to verify quality of workmanship. Visit on-going jobs and note job-site conditions.
