There's no doubt that working with a contractor can make or break your renovation project or new construction build. But if you take the time to find the right person for the job, those risks can be minimized. Here are Five steps to finding the right contractor:
1) Get referrals: The best way to find a good contractor is through referrals from people you trust. Ask your friends, family, or colleagues if they have any recommendations. Once you have a few names, do some research on each one.
2) Check their credentials: Make sure the contractor you're considering is properly licensed and insured. You can check this information online or by calling your local chamber of commerce.
3) Read reviews: Another good way to learn about a contractor is to read online reviews. See what past clients have to say about their experience.
4) Get a written estimate: When you've narrowed down your choices, get a written estimate from each contractor. Be sure to compare not just the price, but also the scope of work and payment terms. Some may require partial payment up front, and ideally the best way to protect yourself is to ensure that payment is remitted as work completes.
5) Check references of past clients: A contractor should happily provide references from past clients, and depending on the project those individuals are excited to show off their recently completed project. They'll be able to give you unfiltered feedback and what could have gone better with the project.
By following these steps, you can find a good contractor that you can trust to do a great job on your project.
