Choosing A Remodeling Contractor

Choosing a home remodeling contractor is not always as simple as picking the lowest priced bid for the job. An “apples to apples” comparison is not easy to make. Quality of work, as well as what’s included in the contract and what’s not, can vary substantially from contractor to contractor. There are many factors homeowners should consider.

• What kind of attention to detail does the contractor exhibit in his work?
• Will he cut corners in areas that may affect the integrity of the job?
• How well does he deal with changes that may occur as the job progresses?
• Will he charge excessive rates for changes?
• Will he accommodate your household needs during the construction process?
• Will he follow-up on your needs and concerns after the job is completed?
• Have you looked at his work and spoke with some of his clients?
• Most Important, is he and his sub-contractors licensed, bonded and insured?

It is in your best interest as a homeowner to be looking for the most value for the money, not necessarily the lowest price for the job.

Our recommendation:  First choose a contractor you are confident can satisfy the above concerns. Second, check references. Third, work with the contractor you choose to negotiate the remodeling project that is within your budget.
