Get Recommendations
Start with your friends and relatives, then look for a list of members in your area at the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. You can also speak with a building inspector, who will know which home renovation companies satisfy code standards on a regular basis, or pay a visit to your local lumberyard, which sees contractors on a regular basis and knows which ones buy quality supplies and pay their bills on time.Do Phone Interviews
Once you’ve compiled a list, we recommend giving each of your prospects a quick call and going over the following questions to ask a contractor:- Do they work on projects that are similar to yours?
- Is it possible for them to produce financial references from vendors or banks?
- Is it possible for them to provide you with a list of former clients?
- How many other projects would they be working on concurrently?
- When did they start working with their subcontractors?
