Renovating your home or office can be a daunting task. When you’re in the market for a renovation contractor for your project, it’s important to remember that not all contractors are created equal. At CGO Construction, we understand how important it is to find a contractor who will deliver quality results and ensure your dreams become a reality.
Before hiring any contractor for your project, here are some key things to consider:
Get multiple estimates
Talk to several contractors and get written estimates from at least three before making a decision on who to hire so you get a keen understanding of your budget. Additionally, It’s important to ask each contractor questions such as whether they are licensed and insured, what kind of materials they use, how long they have been in business, and if they offer any guarantees on their work. Doing so will help ensure that you get an experienced and reliable contractor.
Hire Local
Whenever possible, hire a licensed local contractor near you who has knowledge of building codes and regulations in your area. This will help ensure that all work is up-to-code and compliant with local ordinances.
Read into Their Reviews
It’s important to read into previous clients of potential contractors you may hire before signing an agreement with them. It is easy to do a quick google search to have access to their most recent projects, and this will confirm that the contractor is the proper fit for the renovation you hope to achieve. In most cases, contractors will offer references before any contract so that you have a solid understanding of their expertise!
Set Clear Expectations
Before beginning any work, make sure that your vision is clear and that both parties agree on the needs, budget, and timeline of your renovation. This way, there won’t be any surprises or misunderstandings along the way.
Review the Payment Schedule
Be sure to discuss any upfront costs or payment plans that may be installed over the course of your renovation. It is always best to work out any invoices and timelines for completion or warranties offered on the workmanship. Having everything in writing can help avoid misunderstandings once the project begins, especially regarding payment schedules or changes made after signing an agreement with them.
Read Over your Contract
Contracts are put in place to protect both the client and the contractor. Before signing off on anything, make sure you read over everything and understand the agreement in depth.
