Choosing a contractor

While the majority of home repair contractors are honest and reputable, unfortunately there are people and businesses who prey on consumers after a disaster. It is a good idea to talk with friends and co-workers for referrals. Local building or material supply companies can also be a good source of ideas. Take a look at the guidelines below to help you hire the right contractor to make your repairs.

Finding Qualified, Trustworthy Contractors

When talking with potential contractors, be sure to ask them about:

1. Experience: Ask about their experience Ideally, the contractor should have at least five years of experience. Ask about projects they’ve done that are similar to yours.
2. Insurance: Verify their insurance Make sure the contractor has liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage.
3. References: Request references Ask for names and contact information of previous customers who would be willing to talk with you about their experience with the contractor.
4. Resources: Check on their record of workmanship Contact the Better Business Bureau or other consumer organizations to find out if the contractor has a record of complaints about workmanship, cost over-runs or other issues.
5. Communication: Make sure the contractor maintains an open line of communication with you. The company should provide you with updates and frequent progress reports on the work being completed.
6. Physical location of their business: Verify a Business Physical Location Avoid businesses that have only a P.O. Box or contractors that have recently moved into the area.
7. Contract: Let them know you’ll require a signed contract that outlines all conditions of work, including time and payment schedules, work to be completed, materials to be provided and other items important to the project.
