A new year is around the corner and you’re finally ready to make a move on that huge renovation project that you’ve been looking forward to. When it comes to an interior or exterior renovation, you want a contractor that will get the job done to perfection.
However, picking the right contractor isn’t always easy because our industry is admittedly crowded. Before you sign a contract with a renovation company, make sure they check off this list of top qualities of excellent renovation contractors.
They Have Extensive Services
Not all contractors have the same focus. Depending on the renovation you need to be done, you want to make sure that they have the expertise for the job.
If you have a larger project on your hand that requires several areas of contracting expertise, you want a renovation team that can do it all.
At Shepherd Roofing & Renovations, our services include but aren’t limited to:
Years of Reputable Experience
The last thing you need is a novice contractor that leaves you with a half-done job that requires even more money to fix after they’ve gone.
Make sure that anyone you hire has years of experience in construction, has testimonials from former customers, and can show you concrete examples of past projects that are similar to yours.
They Are Insured
Insurance is essential because you don’t want to be the person that foots the bill if something goes wrong during your renovation project.
As a paying customer, it’s important to keep yourself protected. During the interview process of hiring a renovation contractor, make sure they can provide proof of the following insurance policies:
- Commercial General Liability Insurance
- Professional Liability Insurance
- Commercial Property Insurance
- Workers Compensation Insurance
Transparency
Even the best-planned renovation projects can face some snags in the road that either extend the project or require a change of approach.
Make sure that your contractor is determined to remain transparent about their work, ability to meet deadlines, and any additional costs that a project may incur.
Remember, you want a contractor that can tell you about the job in terms you can understand, not one that throws confusing jargon at you to make a little extra money on the job.
They Work With Qualified Subcontractors
No matter how great your contractor is, it’s important that the subcontractors they hire to work for them are equally great. Before starting a job with your contractor, ask them if they plan to work with subcontractors and, if so, what qualifications the subcontractors have.
When you have subcontractors working on your project’s plumbing, electricity, and other essential aspects, you shouldn’t be afraid to ask for the best. A quality contracting team will gladly give you all of the necessary details on their subcontractors, as well as past references that can back up their reputation.
