Verify the Contractor’s License and Qualifications
Two of the most important qualifications of any contractor, but especially a contractor performing remodeling or demolition work, is being licensed and insured.
In most states, contractors need a license to perform demolition or remodeling projects.
Determine your state's contractor licensing requirements to be sure you're hiring someone with the most basic qualifications.
If your state does require a license, always be sure you hire a contractor with the proper licensing.
A contractor should always list their license number on their quote sheets or contracts, and if they aren't willing to provide you with their's this is a red flag and a sign you should hire someone else.
Never be afraid to ask a contractor for their license number, and be sure the contractor you hire is insured and bonded, too.
Require a Written Contract from Your Contractor
Another important way to help protect yourself from surprises is to require a written contract from any contractor(s) you hire.
Getting all project details in writing ensures there will be no surprises.
The contract should outline…
- The work that will be done
- The material and equipment that will be used to do it
- A payment schedule for the work
- Estimated schedule or work timetable
Before signing any contract, be sure you understand everything it’s saying. Don’t be afraid to ask for clarification from your contractor.
