How
To Interview A Connecticut Contractor |
Like many other East Coast states, more and more commercial and residential
property owners are choosing to renovate rather than purchase or start
new construction. Connecticut is no different and there are now thousands
of contractors working on various remodeling and renovation projects
throughout the state.
Before you decide on a remodeling provider for your commercial or residential
renovation, take some time to ask them questions about their experience
with similar projects, their work ethic, and their professional standing.
Many property owners are hesitant to ask some hard questions because
they fear offending the contractor, but most are well accustomed to these
types of interviews with prospective clients and won’t hesitate
or refuse to answer any questions you’ve got. If they do: find
another contractor because it’s a sign of a deeper problem.
When you interview a contractor, make sure to hit these major points:
| • |
Is the company properly
licensed and insured? (If you’re at all unsure, check the
CT State Board to make sure their certifications are up-to-date. |
| • |
Always ask for references from property
owners in your area. You’re going to want to go see some
examples of previous work done by the Connecticut contractor and
you’ll want to check with past clients to verify the company’s
professionalism and reliability. |
| • |
Ask about specialization. Some contractors
specialize in complete
kitchen renovations while others focus exclusively
on bathroom flooring and tile. The point here is that you want
to make sure the contractor has adequate experience for the task
you’re hiring them to do. |
| • |
Visit the company’s main office.
A contractor with a professional and organized office will prove
more reliable than someone who works out of their home or van. |
| • |
Make sure the company is willing
to complete any necessary construction loan or bank documentation.
If they say no, find a new provider. |
| • |
Ask if the company will provide
a comprehensive quote and materials list before any work begins.
You don’t want to get stuck with hidden costs halfway through
the project and you also want a realistic idea of how long the
project will take. |
All professional Connecticut contractors will be happy to discuss the
above points with you. Finding the right contractor is perhaps the most
important step in your home renovation process: an unreliable or unscrupulous
provider will cost you money, time and heart ache.
