A large home
addition or even some large remodeling or home improvement project are usually best left
for the professionals unless you already have the right construction skills and
the time to put into the project.
Like most
homeowners, you will probably opt for hiring a general contractor or the
subcontractors directly (if you decide to act as your own general contractor).
It is critical that
you find the right contractor for your project and the best way to do this is to
get referrals from friends or family members who have experience with a general
contractor, or the particular subcontractor(s) that you need. If you are
unfortunate not to be able to obtain referrals from family or friends then the
other alternative is to use a service such as
ServiceMagic or
NeedContractor.
These two companies
have databases of pre-screened contractors all over the United States.
The Contractors associated with these companies have to first go through a rigorous
pre-screening process, including Better
Business Bureau checks, Licensing checks, and previous customer reference
checks before they can become part of these databases.
