Are you planning to remodel your home? Maybe just a kitchen or a bathroom? Before doing so, it is very important that you hire the right contractor to do the job. Many people aren’t sure where to start. Should they hire someone based upon a referral from a friend or co-worker? Maybe, but we recommend to go beyond just a referral and do your due diligence when selecting a contractor. Referrals are a great starting point because someone you know, and hopefully you trust, has had a good experience using the contractor. Make sure that the type of work you are looking to do in your home, is the type of work the contractor did for the person who referred him/her. The importance here is because someone may have done a great job painting for your friend, but they may not be good at installing cabinets or laying tile for example. It is important to check that this contractor you may potentially be hiring has experience doing the type of work you are expecting of them. We suggest that you ask for additional referrals even if your friend or co-worker initially referred him/her. This will help you to get a feel for him/her from past satisfied customers. Did the contractor finish on time, did they complete the work within the given budget and were the easy to work with? Next ask to see before and after photos of his/her work. This will give you the visual confirmation you may be seeking and help you verify that you like the completed work. Lastly, and most importantly, ask to see his/her credentials. Does the contractor have a state license (General Contractor, Electrician, Plumbing)? Does he/she have insurance and worker’s compensation? Many handymen do not carry these licenses and while that may be okay to hang a fan or paint a room, that is not what is required to do many other repairs or remodeling projects.
