Inspection after contractor finishes remodel

[Kara Jordan]

Does anyone have any major red flags/safety things to look for when making sure a contractor does things correctly?? I just realized that our contractor didn’t put in a gfci outlet next to the sink in the bathroom he is renovating for us. This is making me wonder what other short cuts he may have made along the way that I need to look out for and have corrected. I’ve even wondered about getting a home inspection before paying just to get a professionals eyes on it for any safety issues!!!

This is our first time working with a contractor for a project like this so we are learning a LOT, so please be nice!

Interestingly, these home inspectors are typically pretty good with identifying structural engineering issues and out of code wiring (GFCIs) or things that like to cause leaks. 

Now that GFCI plug might till be on a GFCI circuit and be with in code. A GFCI tester is cheap, buy one at home depot

 Get a price on return trips, you will likely need many if you want to get a home inspector.  

Good luck
