Where to find the right contractors?

Before you start the call and interview process, you need to know where to look for residential construction contractors. www.LocalConstructionPros.com has thousands of great home refurbishment contractors to choose from. First, ask yourself what needs to be done, and educate yourself about the project.

Call at least three potential contractors for interviews and quotes. When you request quotes, give each contractor the same information so that your comparison is consistent.

How to interview your contractor

When interviewing a residential contractor, ask these questions.

1. Are you registered in this city/state? If yes, get the number and validate it by calling the licencing office of your local building department. Also, call your Better Business Office and your State Consumer Protection Agency to find out what is required to obtain a licence in your country.

2. Ask for 3 job references made in the recent past. Call references and ask about the reliability and ability of your contractor to stay on budget and schedule.

3. Ask whether the contractor is insured. Contractors should be insured for general liability, workers' compensation, car insurance and property and personal liability. Ask for a copy of your contractor's insurance because the last thing you want is legal and financial responsibility if an accident occurs on your property.

4. Ask yourself how long your contractor has been in business. Five or ten years, all right. It sounds stable.

5. Ask for photographs of their work before and after. Some contractors have photo gallery websites.

6. Ask for a detailed estimate that includes labour, materials, overhead and a schedule. Ask for it in writing so that you can easily compare it to the estimates you receive from other contractors.
