Contractor Question

[Matt Schultze]

Hi all

I am looking to purchase a prop that is going to need more work than I can handle. I am looking to add a kitchen and bath on the main floor of the home. (no idea why there was none before) this will convert this SFR into a multi family. (Zoning is R2 and good to go) So i will need to get a general contractor with subs (plummer and electrical). I have never had to conduct an interview like this before, so I am looking for some good question that are a must. What should I be looking for in a contractor? What are thing to look out for? Any help will be good as I have no idea but am willing to learn.

Also how is a home insured when it is under major construction?

Thanks for the help!

Matt
