Here are some questions you should ask them 

  • How long have you been in this business?
  • Are you licensed?
  • Are you insured?
  • Do you have a crew?
  • When will you be able to take on a project?
  • Have you worked with investors?
  • What is your specialty?
  • Will you be able to walk properties?
  • How many projects do you have going on right now?
  • How and when would you like to be paid?
    • Both sign a predetermined payment schedule before the start of the job.
  • Will you agree to sign lien releases before I pay you?
  • Referrals
      • How their experience was?
      • Did the contractor have good communication?
      • If something went wrong did the contractor accept responsibility and make it right?
      • How efficient was the contractor in touching up after the final walk through?
