When you’re ready to hire a Locally Trusted Home Remodeling Company near you, here are a few questions you should ask your Contractor as you receive estimates and begin the planning process of your Remodeling Project.
Does the Remodeling Contractor have list of reference available or online reviews from actual previous customers?
It is a red flag if a prospective contractor doesn’t have references or refuses to provide them. This could mean they haven’t done any remodeling before, or they don’t think their previous clients will have anything positive to say about them. Yikes. If they are able to provide references, that’s great, now ask for a few subcontractor references.
If you speak with another homeowner, ask about the contractor’s responsiveness. Did they take forever to respond? Did they neglect calls and emails entirely? Was the job site relatively clean throughout the project? Were there any lengthily gaps in work and why? Were there any surprises to the over cost/budget and why?
If you speak with trades or subcontractors, ask if the contractor has ever had any issues with receiving payment from the contractor in question. Also ask about their relationship with the contractor and their employees. How someone treats and pays their subcontractors can say a lot about how they will treat you.
Do they carry a General Liability Insurance Policy for their Company?
If something were to go wrong during your remodel, does your contractor carry the appropriate liability insurance? If not, you, the homeowner, will be held responsible! $1 million general liability is an ideal policy amount, but some contractors carry more, it depends on the type of work they do. Either way, verify with your potential contractor that they carry liability insurance before you sign a contract!
In short, stay aware while you’re searching for the right company to work for. Do your research, ask questions, verify they have liability insurance, and read the whole contract before you sign it!
What are the terms of Payment for the Project?
It is completely reasonable to a contractor to ask for a deposit before work begins. Fifty Percent Is standard in the industry, but make sure terms of Payment are accurately portrayed from the Construction Company before work begins on your project.
Do they have a scope of work or job description of the project available?
We cannot stress enough the importance of having clear specifications that you understand and agree with. And ideal specification or scope of work will call out every detail in your project. If your contractor gives a price up front with no scope or plans to back it up, something has been overlooked in their bid. Again, always ask to see your job specifications on paper. Make sure a scope of work is presented before the project work begins that details the specifics of the job, design standards, etc.
