At some time, almost any homeowner will hire someone for repairs or renovations. Even a homeowner experienced in home repairs may have to hire a contractor or renovator because of the size or level of difficulty of the job. This website will help you choose a contractor and give some advice about what to consider when you hire a contractor.
On this website we will direct you to the best contractors. Here is some advice for you if you have first contact with a new contractor. Ask the following:
* How long have you been in business?
* What work are you, or your subcontractors, licensed to do?
* What kind of work do you specialize in?
* Have you done a similar job before?
* Will you use your own crew for the work or will you subcontract the job?
* How would you handle a specific problem related to this project?
* How will you deal with the health and energy efficiency aspects of the job?
* How and when do you clean up, particularly fine dust?
* What work schedule will you follow?
* What kind of warranty do you offer and what does it cover?
* Do you carry workers’ compensation and liability insurance?
* Will you provide a written contract?
* Will you take out all required permits (e.g., building, plumbing, electrical)?
