To reduce the risk of hiring
the wrong home remodeling contractor you should first do a little preparation
yourself for the home remodeling project. Sketch out and write down what you
want remodeled. Provide a copy of this information to each prospective home
remodeling contractor as this will help to minimize misunderstandings of
requirements.

|
If you are adding a home addition, use stakes and string or even spray paint and
mark the area on the existing lawn/ground.
Next talk to your local building inspector to understand what permits and
building requirements are necessary for your home remodeling project.
|
Visit home improvement centers such as Lowes
and Home Depot, and look at materials expected to be used on your project (e.g.
lumber, doors, windows, appliances, countertops, roofing material, etc.). Make
note of their costs so you will be able to compare material costs proposed by
prospective contractors.
|
While visiting home
improvement centers also talk with some of the employees about costs and
lead times for particular products of interest. For example, there are many
types of doors and windows and frequently there can be significant lead
times for deliveries.
When you start calling prospective contracts ask for references and previous
work that you can visit.
Finally, make sure you get multiple quotes and make sure that they are in
writing. Also ask how long the quotation is valid. |
