What to Ask a Professional Home Renovation Contractor

• Do you have a license?

While communicating with contractors, don't forget to ask about their license. Additionally, you can also make research on it to ensure they're licensed by visiting their website. Hiring an unlicensed contractor can make a gap in quality work. But, finding someone who is licensed will have a backup to remove the flaws. Therefore, we defined the benefits of hiring licensed contractors. The accredited home renovation contractors will take care of everything and keep the quality in the first place.

• What is your work graph?

Precisely, determine the start date of construction or repair, the timing of each stage of work and the date of completion. You must ask the contractor in advance - at what time they'll complete the work and whether they will have days off. It's impossible to start a large-scale alteration or construction without a schedule. It must be agreed upon before starting the project. In addition, the owner himself simply needs a schedule to purchase or deliver materials on time. 

• What documents will you provide after the completion of the repair and construction?

Be sure to ask for the layout of the wiring that was hidden in the walls. Make sure the layout and connection of water pipes and other communications will not interfere.

Will you sign the acceptance certificate for the work performed? 

Serious and responsible contractors often give instructions on how to care for flooring and countertops and take photos of the rough finish before installing the equipment and painting.

• Can you show your recently completed projects?

Ask about the client base and examples of work performed.

Check that the contractor has an impressive client base and warranty card for successfully completed construction and repair work. Examining the samples of your contractors' work will not pose any danger. This will also allow you to evaluate and find out whether this company is capable of performing the type of work you are interested in the way you need. Ask if the company can offer you contacts of its customers for inquiries. Live communication with the contractors will give you the most valuable and proven information about them.

Do not forget about the need to discuss all the important points with the contractor. Construction and renovation is a costly task, a lot depends on the skill and responsibility of the contractor. Plan, discuss and have more confidence that the project will be delivered quickly and successfully.

• How will the work be paid?

It is desirable to clarify this question in detail. It is most advisable to pay for repairs in stages. Sometimes, due to unforeseen events, the repair budget for work and materials can increase. So before starting work, it's worth finding out whether it's possible to fix the cost of repairs per square meter.
