Also discuss with the contractor the time expected for the project if its small, mid or large and if it needs permits and how long would it take for permitting and all, also payment terms, make sure you go with payment terms that are fair to you and the contractor (so many terms but most common is monthly based on completed work with an upfront for materials) and ALWAYS keep the last payment until project is closed (retainage) and you do your walkthrough and if there's any issues you write them down and provide the contractor with (punch list to release the retainer once they're corrected or fixed). read about how to deal with contractors and always ask for references but it really depends on how big the job is, personally I wouldn't spend too much time doing due diligence on small jobs such as door latches or shelving rather on additions, layout change and other scopes.Good luck!
