How to deal with Contractors

[Bradley Jernigan]

Sometimes dealing with contractors can be a headache. When renovating a property, the price and quality of work are the two key factors when deciding on a contractor. Therefore I believe you should first, gather multiple quotes from different contractors to gain a clear understanding of the average cost for the desired project. Then, research each contractor’s reputation and previous work through online reviews and references. When meeting contractors, ask detailed questions about their methods, materials, and projected timelines. A written contract that outlines all expectations, costs, and project specifics is crucial. I would make sure to carefully read and understand it before signing. Regular communication throughout the project helps maintain transparency and address any concerns promptly. It’s also advisable to avoid upfront full payments, opting instead for a payment schedule tied to project milestones. Once you have gained a great relationship with the contractor and they have done great work , then I advise to continue on with the contractor for almost all other future projects. It is sometimes hard to find a good contractor within the area so always keep in contact with the ones who have done good work for you in the past.
