Finding The Right Contractor
Do Your Homework:
- Ask friends, neighbors, or co-workers for contractor referrals.
- Before hiring a contractor, get his or her name, address, and phone number. Confirm the company's existence by calling information.
- Verify that the contractor has adequate liability and workers' compensation and insurance.
- Before hiring a contractor, ask for a copy of his or her current license (if applicable). If your state has a Contractor's Licensing Board, always check the Board to make sure that the contractor is licensed and in good standing. Check with the Attorney General or Better Business Bureau to see if there are any complaints filed against this contractor.
Be Wary
- Watch out for contractors who offer a price that's too good to be true. Low bids usually come from novice or desperate contractors and usually result in markups, change orders, and overall shoddy work.
Get it in Writing
- Always sign a contract, and make sure any change orders are in writing.
Pay for Finished Work
- Don't pay for a job up front. Never pay for more than 30 percent of the estimated cost in advance. Be sure to ask if there is a price for an estimate.
- Before you pay, make sure the work is done properly, or get an inspection.
- Pay by check, never by cash.
