Tips On How To Hire The Best Remodeling Contractor If you have ever had work done on your house before, you may be familiar with the feeling of unease that comes with trying to hire the best remodeling contractor. There is often reason to worry. Trusting your home to someone is never easy and should not be taken lightly. Hire the wrong contractor, and you can end up with a large bill for a batched job. Follow these simple tips and you will be sure to avoid some of the common pitfalls that many homeowners seem to make. Do your research Most contractor searches probably start with the companys web site. The most important things to look at are their past project pictures and testimonials left by pervious clients. Use social media like Facebook and Twitter to see if any of your friends can recommend a quality contractor. Make sure to check if they have a quality rating with your local BBB. Deal Only With Licensed Contractors It is important to only trust your home to licensed contractors. An unlicensed contractor is almost guaranteed to have inferior skills. If your contractor is serious about their profession, they would take the time to meet the standards of being a licensed contractor. Be Wary Of The Low Bid Naturally everyone wants to get the best deal on their remodeling project, but the lowest price is not always the best deal. The low cost guy will most likely cut corners, use inferior building materials, and probably lacks the technical competence to perform the job to the highest standards. Ask for a copy of their Insurance It is very important that your remodeling contractor is able to provide proof of insurance. If someone is injured during the project, you could be held liable if your contractor is uninsured. Make Sure You Have All Agreements In Writing The contract is going to be your most important tool if there is a problem with your project. Make sure that the terms are clear and review it thoroughly. Important items that should be included are a detailed description of the work to be performed and a projected completion date. If there is a change in the work to be performed during the construction, make sure that you get a contract modification in writing. You can never be too safe when it comes to the contracts.
