This week on our YouTube channel, owner Jamie Turrentine discusses the importance of choosing the right contractor for your particular project. Unfortunately, a misstep in this decision process can lead to homeowner nightmares during the project or months and years down the road. We are here to help you avoid those unwanted experiences!
1. Make sure your contractor specializes in the area of work you are looking for. Pictures can be misleading – make sure you ask to go see one of their previous projects for yourself.
2. Check into who is working on the job. Are they employees or subcontractors? Knowing how long the employees have worked for the company can give you insight on the stability of the company.
3. Ask your contractor if they are contributing members of their local trade organizations.
4. Make sure you view on a detailed contract before work begins in order to avoid surprises mid-project.
5. Finally, be sure the contractor has the proper insurance for the type of work they will be doing at your home. Jamie even suggests having your insurance agent look over their policy.
