Choosing A Right Contractor For Your Home
Choosing a right contractor is the most important thing during your home improvement process. perhaps the following checking list will help you.
Choosing Contractor Checking list
* You can find contractors many ways.I suggest asking friends if they have had any similar work and who they used, or the Better Business Bureau for someone local.
* Doesn’t have the time to complete the lender’s line item cost breakdown and insists on using his own.
* Make sure the contractor has at least five years experience and is an expert doing the type of work you need.
* Ask the contractor for references from ten current and/or past clients who have had work similar to yours done. Most business comes to a good contractor from referrals, so investigate these references. Randomly call at least three.
* Ask how many jobs like yours the contractor has completed.
* Ask for examples of work the contractor has done on other projects.
* Verify the contractor’s licensing and insurance.
* Contact the Better Business Bureau to see if information on your candidate is available.
* Your construction loan package will include paper work for the contractor to complete. How does he handle that? The following is a list of warning signs.
* As material costs are rising, payment of deposits on some deliveries may be required by suppliers and some construction loans will allow that. But be aware of the contractor who asks for up front money.
The contract you sign with the contractor should include clear information on all aspects of the job including the scope of the work, specific materials to be used, start and projected finish dates, and the progress payment schedule. Be sure all parties understand the terms of the agreement or contract. The contract can be used for your protection if the project is delayed, incomplete, or damaged.
