Selecting A Good Contractor



Below are several tips that will help you through the process of selecting the best contractor for home repairs or improvements,.

1) Before hiring a contractor, find out how long they have been in business. It’s best to look for an established company and make sure to check out their reputation with the local Better Business Bureau for any outstanding or unresolved complaints.

2) Always make sure that a contractor is licensed to work in the state in which the work is to be done.

3) When considering potential contractors, ask for a list of recently completed projects that are similar to the one you are in need of help with.

4) All permits must be obtained before the actual work begins, when required, or the homeowner may face a fine. It is best to discuss who will be responsible for obtaining permits, either you or the contractor, in the beginning.

5) Every professional contractor should carry a certain amount of insurance coverage, including personal liability, property damage and worker’s compensation.
