5 Keys to Finding the Best Home Contractor

Whether it is your first home project or probably your fifth, a qualified home contractor is the key to getting the job done on a budget and right on time. There are plenty of contractors out there, bogus and reliable ones, sprawled in various sites online. Here are several easy tips that will help you find the right contractor for your next home building and home remodeling projects.

Finding the Best Home ContractorGet referrals from friends, family, colleagues and etc. Collect as many contractor referrals and recommendations as you can from coworkers, neighbors and even the folks at local lumberyards. The best home contractors cannot be found through advertising but through ‘word of mouth’ referrals. By networking your social groups, you can make good decisions on which home contractor will the best job for you.

Ask for estimates and quotes from contracting companies. Ask for at least three estimates from different contractors about your project. Estimates will help you understand the parts of your remodeling or building work so that you will know what to expect in the end.

Ask for company references. Don’t be afraid to ask potential contractors for a few references to find out if their clients were satisfied with their work. By conversing with others, you will know if a contractor is fit for your job.

Check for a contractor’s licenses and other certifications. If you are a paying a good amount of money for your installation, remodeling or repair work, it would be crucial to check for a contractor’s licenses, insurance policies and certifications. Make sure you also check for the availability of a general liability insurance and workers compensation.

Do your homework. Dial the BBB or Better Business Bureau hotline in your area. Consult the consumer protection agencies and offices in your area to see if a contractor has a credible reputation or a number of complaints against their practices. Doing thorough background research will help you save time and money in the long run.
