Choosing the Right Contractor for Your Project

Selecting the right contractor can make or break your home remodeling project. Here's how to find a reliable professional you can trust.

1. Verify Licenses and Insurance

Always confirm that your contractor has valid contractor's license, general liability insurance, workers' compensation insurance, and proof of bonding if required.

2. Check References and Reviews

Ask for at least 3-5 recent references and actually call them. Also check online reviews on Google, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau, and professional association memberships.

3. Review Past Projects

Look at the contractor's portfolio of completed projects similar to yours. Visit job sites if possible to see quality of workmanship firsthand.

4. Get Multiple Quotes

Obtain at least three detailed written estimates. Compare total cost breakdown, materials specified, timeline estimates, payment schedule, and warranty information.

5. Assess Communication

Pay attention to how the contractor communicates. Do they return calls promptly? Are they willing to answer questions? Do they explain things clearly?

6. Review the Contract Carefully

Never start work without a detailed written contract that includes scope of work, materials, timeline, payment schedule, and warranty information.
