Title: Hiring a home improvement contractor

2Identify a reliable home improvement contractor
Many homeowners will tell you that there is
nothing that is harder when they want to renovate
something than getting a home improvement
contractor that you can trust all the way.
Whether you want to knock down a wall, install
some kitchen cabinets or you probably want to
replace those worn out tiles in your bathroom,
you want to get a home improvement contractor
with a high skill level and who can be trusted to
do their work well. You want to avoid those
stories you have heard or read about contractors
who tear apart some part of your house before
they do a disappearing act or where you end up
spending up to three times more than their
original estimate.
3Hiring a home improvement contractor
The choice of the right home improvement
contractor is the difference between disaster and
a good project that comes to completion without a
hassle. You need to have a clear picture of
exactly what you want before you talk to any
contactor. This is your best bet that you will be
given the correct estimate in terms of materials
required and to some extent some labor charges.
Look for references from friends and family
There are chances that someone in your social
circles has done and completed a similar project
and they can have fresh information
4Hiring a home improvement contractor
If the contractor has a website visit it or give
them a call to see if they have the required
licenses from local and state municipalities.
You should also ask them if they have any
professional associations such as the National
Association of Homebuilders or the National
Association of the Remodeling Industry. You
should also look for an home improvement
contractor that has invested time in doing course
work and worked for a home improvement company to
get on-the-job training.
5Hiring a home improvement contractor
One of the first things that you should do is ask
friends, neighbors, or relatives if they know of
any reputable contractors or electrician. The
best way to find one that is qualified is through
word-of-mouth. You want to make sure that they
have passed the tests to get certain
certifications. The website may or may not show
this information but you should ask to see proof
of certification. To be sure they have the right
certification do your research to see what is
required in your state or city.
After doing your research narrow the list of
possible ones to hire to no more than three
because any more could get confusing and make the
decision more difficult. Set up a meeting with
each one and have a list of questions available.
You should ask how much experience they have had
in the field, are they bonded and insured, what
type of warranty they offer, etc.
