Finding the right contractor can be intimidating and time consuming for many of us because we are putting our trust into someone else’s hands.
You must take your time when choosing the right contractor for your job. Think of it as an interview process.
- If at anytime you have any uneasy feelings about this person, listen to your inner feelings.
- Do not let the contractor pressure you in anyway by trying to rush you into making a speedy decision on him or her.
- Have at least 3 contractors come to give you estimates on your home project.
- Get all proposals in writing and make sure you and the contractor have original copies.
- Check to see if the contractors name is typed on the proposal.
- Check the contractor’s license with the Contractors State License Board and make sure that you READ and REVIEW all of the information. This can be tricky, however it must be done.
- Never let the contractor tell you that you need to get the permits, which is his or her job.
- Get as many references as you can and check them out. Talk to them about their experience with the contractor and look at the project that was done for them.
- Check the contractor’s background.
- Do Not select a contractor based on price.
- Make sure that ALL details are in the contract before signing. Take a few days to go over the contract before signing and make sure that you watch the contractor sign his name under his printed name.
We finally found this wonderful construction company named Betlan Construction which came on the job and repaired everything that the shoddy contractor had destroyed. We fully trust Betlan Construction and will use his company for all future projects as well as refer him to all of our family and friends!
You will never go wrong by hiring an honest and knowledgeable contractor like Brian, the owner of Betlan Construction.
