Choose Your Contractor Carefully |
 |
 |
- Make sure your contractor is a member of a related trade association in your area
- Make sure your contractor is a licensed contractor (if required in your area)
- Check references and take time to meet past customers and view work performed
- When checking references, make sure your contractor has performed jobs with similar scope of work and is capable of doing your project
- If you aren’t working with an architect, and your project needs design or plans, choose a builder capable of this service
- Never let price be the determining factor in choosing your contractor; all credible contractors will have similar fees or costs
- Is your contractor financially solvent? Ask for trade references if you are unsure
- Your contractor should be a trusted partner in this process and have your best interests in mind. If you don’t get that impression from your contractor…keep looking. You’ll be glad you did.
