Choosing a remodeling contractor is a daunting task, but it can be made easier with a little thought and footwork. It is important to choose the right contractor for the job to assure the property owner the work is completed according to plan and regulations. Below you will find our top three tips to consider when choosing a remodeling contractor.
1. Referrals:
One of the best ways to find a remodeling contractor is to ask family and friends for referrals. Word of mouth is a powerful advertising method. You will not only find the best around, but you will know who to avoid. Most people are happy to share their good and bad experiences with a contractor.
2. Project Vision:
It is important the remodeling contractor share your vision for the project. It is essential they listen to your ideas and plans for the project and offer suggestions that may help to make the project more efficient. If the contractor does not show any interest in your project, they may not be the contractor for you.
3. Bids:
Before choosing a remodeling contractor, solicit at least three bids. It is important the contractor all receives the same information to prepare a bid. The bidders should all make a site visit to see what the challenges will be. Bids should be delivered in writing and include an outline of the scope of work, beginning and ending dates, building permits necessary to obtain and the total cost of the bid.
