Are you consider hiring contractor’s for your next home renovation? Maybe your considering a complete home renovation, kitchen remodel or adding a deck off the back of the house. Even after you’ve already checked the contractor ‘s license and insurance policy details and BBB accreditation, there is still a number of factors that could (and sometimes should) make you go for a different remodeling company. Here’s the checklist we prepared for you.
Reviews
To check if the remodeling company you are about to hire has a good reputation and provides a positive customer experience, check out their reviews on Google Reviews, Houzz, BBB and Facebook.
Here’s where you should also rely on the word-of-mouth. If you are going for a local remodeling company, ask around your neighborhood or on forums.
Portfolio
Checking out a contractor’s portfolio is an excellent way to see if their work fits your personal style and preferences. Check out their gallery on their website and you should have a clearer idea of how they might contribute to your home.
Permits
Licensed and experienced contractors have the necessary know-how in handling permits and assisting their customers.
A reliable contractor is familiar with the inspection procedure, so they can schedule regular inspections at specific points into the project and remind you accordingly.
Estimates
Before you decide to hire a remodeling company, always ask them for the total cost estimate. You can easily see if a company has experience in working on projects similar to yours by how they will account for all the necessary costs and expenses. Don’t forget that an estimate is not the final price, but it should at least be in the vicinity of the total cost.
Progress Updates
Home improvement projects usually don’t take a short time to complete. During that time, construction workers and other professional staff will frequent your home, so you need to make sure you know when they supposed to show up. For that reason, check with your contractor how they plan on keeping you in the loop. Will it be by phone, email or in person? Will there be a project manager or any other contact person? Since it is your home, you have the right to demand respect and consideration, and a trustworthy contractor will try to complete the project with minimum inconvenience to you and your family.
