Our Area - Hiring A Contractor
Make sure you hire a licensed contractor. Get multiple
opinions before hiring a professional. Practice shows that homeowners getting
multiple bids typically enjoy more than 10% money savings. Check
contractor references. When you interview a contractor for your home projects,
make sure they:
Have the necessary knowledge to successfully manage the
construction project.
Have the time required to manage the project.
Will provide a contract with work to be performed,
materials to be used and price before the work starts.
Carry Worker's Compensation Insurance to cover his
employees in case of injury.
Carry a bond to protect you.
Know about necessary permits and inspections, preventing
unnecessary delays once the project is underway.
