How to Choose a Renovator

Choosing a Renovation Company

First and foremost, you’ll want to choose a company that has a good reputation and makes you feel comfortable. Be sure to find out as much as you can by asking a lot of questions such as:

• How long have you been in business?

• Can you provide references?

• What work are you, or your subcontractors, licensed to do (e.g., electrical, plumbing)?

• What kind of work do you specialize in?

• Have you done a similar job before?

• How would you handle a specific problem related to this project (e.g., installing kitchen cabinets on your sloping floor)?

• What work schedule will you follow?

• What kind of warranty do you offer and what does it cover?

• Do you carry workers’ compensation and liability insurance?

• Will you provide a written contract?

• Will you take out all required permits (e.g., building, plumbing, electrical)?

See why it’s a good idea to hire a contractor with workers’ compensation and liability insurance.
