Choosing the right contractor is the most important decision in a remodeling project. Take your time and be thorough in your search. It's crucial that you find a contractor who can understand your vision and respects your values.
Word of mouth and personal referrals are an excellent way to narrow your search for a contractor. Ask your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers about contractors who have worked for them. Ask what they liked and didn't like about their remodeling experience. Ask the homeowner if you could take a look at their project.
Keep an eye out for homes with signs of their contracting company on their lawn. Is the site clean? Are tools and materials being handled in a responsible manner? Is the work getting done?
Local "parades" and home shows are a great place to gather general information and get ideas about what exactly you'd like to update in your home. You can get initial introductions to a range of contractors in a casual, no-pressure environment.
Name and prioritize exactly what you're looking for in a contractor. Do you have a deadline? Have you set a budget? Do you prefer contractors who are local? Are "green" or sustainable practices important to you?
Carefully consider your goals, your priorities, and do your research. Choosing the right contractor is the first step to a successful project.
