An inevitable part of home ownership is fixing up your home whether you are adding a brand-new addition or doing some simple updates for your kitchen or bath. While picking out paint colors, appliances, and designs is exciting, there’s one factor that you have to be extremely careful with to ensure that you get the most out of your budget hiring the right contractors!
A simple internet search will likely show you numerous home improvement contractors in your area, but how do you know which one you should go with? After all, this company will be paid thousands of dollars of your hard-earned money and be in your home for a substantial amount of time, so you need to feel confident that your contractor has the integrity, skill, and experience necessary to get the job done right.
When it is time for you to start searching for the perfect contractor to handle you upcoming project, take the following helpful tips into account before signing on the dotted line:
1. TRUST YOUR GUT INSTINCTS
It is wise to meet with several skilled contractors before making a decision, and sometimes the first impression tells you a lot about what it will be like working with them. If the contractors’ behavior is off-putting, they are pushy with their sales delivery, or you simply don’t like being around them, move on to the next company. The last thing you want is to be entrusting your home to someone that makes you or your family members uncomfortable.
2. AVOID FALLING FOR THE LOWEST BID
Contractors can vary widely in the cost that they quote for a similar project?sometimes by several thousand dollars! Although we have all heard the saying that “you get what you pay for”, you also don’t want to be tricked into an inflated price quote. In general, steer away from the lowest bid that you receive. The lowest bidders often use sub par materials, deliver low-quality work, or leave you stuck with hidden fees after the fact?making them much more expensive in the long run.
3. DO YOUR RESEARCH
Every contractor you encounter is going to claim to be the best at what they do, but it is up to you to do your research before committing to a company. Reviews and first-hand experiences are always valuable tools to hear from the company’s past clients, and you can do further research by looking at their qualifications, Better Business Bureau accreditation, and website. Additionally, talk with the contractor during your first meeting about their experience, qualifications, and professional affiliations to get a better idea of the overall values and quality of the company.
4. GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING
When it comes to home improvement, getting everything in writing is a necessity. From your initial price quote to any contracts, additions, and agreements made throughout the process, everything should be clearly spelled out and signed off on by you to ensure that you know exactly what will happen during the project. As always, be sure to examine all of the fine print before committing!
5. FOCUS ON COMMUNICATION
A smooth remodeling process comes down to working well with your contractor, and that involves consistent and thorough communication. You should feel free to ask any questions you have along the way, and it is perfectly reasonable to expect regular updates on progress from the contractor performing the work. When the project is complete, do a final walk through to make sure that everything meets your expectations before signing off on completion, and leave a positive review for the company if you were happy with the project.
Home remodeling is a big commitment in both time and expense, and you deserve to work with a contractor that has your best interests in mind right down to the smallest details. Taking the time to do your research and to ask questions before choosing a company is vital to a successful, hassle-free project, and once you find the right contractor, you have a go-to name for any future home improvement needs!
