Know Your Project
Before you start hunting for a contractor, it’s important you know what you actually need. Write up a detailed description of your project with every piece of work that needs to be done. This could include small or add-on jobs alongside your main renovations, such as any plumbing or electrical work that may need to be done. Make sure to send all of these details to potential contractors so they have an in-depth understanding of what you need.
Once you know what you need, look for contractors who match your requirements. Case studies are a great way to figure out what kind of work their team are more experienced in and whether their past projects are similar to yours.
Get Multiple Quotes
Try not to go with the first contractor you see. Instead, get quotes from multiple companies, along with a written proposal of the work they’ll carry out. Compare the different companies and find the best fit for your project, and if you’re not happy with any of them then keep looking!
Check for Licences and Dispute History
All of your contractors should be fully licensed, but make sure you check before you hire them. You should also take a look at local court records to see if there are any mentions of disputes around the company you’re looking to hire. If there are, it’s probably best to steer clear; nobody wants a cowboy contractor.
Ask About Subcontractors
A lot of contractors use subcontractors to carry out specific tasks, such as plumbing, that they might not be qualified to do. Check with your company whether they do this and, if they do, how they choose their subcontractors. Make sure to get licenses for any subcontractors involved in your project, too.
Check References From Clients
One of the best ways to pick contractors is by looking at past references and reviews from clients. Some websites will have these on their own website, but remember they can be biased! Alongside their own list of references, be sure to do a quick Google search of the company. You should be able to find plenty of unbiased reviews.
