How to Select a Professional Remodeling Contractor
At DBS, Inc., we understand that finding a qualified professional remodeler doesn't have to be a difficult task. By following these guidelines, you will make the selection process easier and be better prepared to make an informed decision that suits your needs.
Employ a contractor with an established business in your area. Local firms can be checked through references from past customers in your community. Local remodelers are compelled to perform satisfactory work for their business to survive.
Check the remodeling contractor with the government Consumer Affairs Office and the Better Business Bureau to ensure there is no adverse file on record.
Ask to see a copy of the contractor's certification of insurance or the name of his or her insurance agency to verify coverage.
Most states require a contractor to carry worker's compensation, property damage and personal liability insurance. Make sure the contractor's insurance coverage meets all minimum requirements.
If you solicit bids from several different contractors, be sure they are bidding on the same scope and quality of work. Discuss variations in bids and beware of any bid that is substantially lower than the others.
