Finding the right contractor for your remodelling project is probably at the top of the list when it comes to the most important things to consider when renovating your home. The right contractor will ensure your project is handled efficiently and professionally, minimising stress and offering the reassurance your project warrants.
Here are some things to pay particular attention to when deciding on the best contractor for your remodelling project.
Recommendations. Word of mouth is considered to be the most successful and reliable method of marketing. Because it works. Nothing shouts 'authentic' like having a neighbour or friend (or just a real person) recommend a company to you.
View past work. Taking a look at a examples of a contractors previous projects not only demonstrates the skill level they can achieve, but also if their style of work is what you're looking for. Some contractors specialise in bespoke renovations, whereas others prefer the one-size-fits-all approach.
Get quotes and ask questions. Inviting contractors to quote for your project not only gives you an indication of the cost of your renovation (and whether it works with your budget), but it's an ideal opportunity to find out exactly what your remodelling project entails. You want to know what you're paying for, what's included (and what isn't) and the depth the contractors are going to go to, to ensure your project meets your needs.
Check their credentials. You want to ensure your contractor is who they say they are, and can legitimately do what they say they can do. Checking their credentials ensures that you will be covered by insurance, can gain certificates, consents and sign-offs by the council, as well as ensuring the work is completely to a safe and compliant standard.
Go with your gut. If something feels 'off' or just not quite right, then it's probably a good idea to trust that feeling. Even if a contractor is qualified and offering all the right things, saying all the right stuff, these people will be spending a significant amount of time in your home, potentially around you and your family. You want to ensure your chosen contractor is respectful, accountable and approachable.
Remember, finding the right contractor ensures a successful remodelling experience. Take your time to look around and find the right team to handle your project with the care and professionalism it deserves.
