If you have decided that you may want to do some sort of home improvement or remodeling project then you will definitely want to make sure that you hire the right person for the job. You will always hear horror stories about contractors, so it�s best to do your research before you move on with your Joliet Construction and Remodeling job.
First you will want to begin by collecting referrals from your friends, neighbors, family and coworkers. People often find the best Joliet Construction and Remodeling contractor by word-of-mouth referrals and good recommendations, over advertising.
You may also search the web. Besides checking through Google, Yahoo and other local search engines, you can search an array of online directories to find a good, honest contractor services in Joliet.
Next after you have accumulated some referrals that interest you, begin by calling a few on your list. Keep in mind that many good Joliet Construction and Remodeling contractors are busy working long, sometimes abnormal hours, so give them a day or two to return your phone call. If it takes longer than a day or two, remove them from your list as a good contractor should be accessible to potential clients.
Once you have started calling contractors or connecting with them online to inquire about their services, compare the contractors by their price quotes, their promptness, their attention to detail and their overall customer service.
You can also look for reviews online about the contractor or contractors that you narrow your list down to. Look at the pros and cons that other people have discovered when using the contractor you are considering. Also check out the Better Business Bureau. The Better Business Bureau will give honest reviews and/or criticisms about the specific contractor services in Joliet that you are considering and could be a major factor when deciding if you should sign a contract or not.
Interview your potential Joliet Construction and Remodeling contractor. Some good questions to ask include: How long have you been in business? What types of home improvement projects do you specialize in? When would you be available to start my project? It�s also good to ask if they have done similar projects to yours in the past and how things went with that project.
Ask for bids from your potential choices. Make sure that your bids encompass everything that you require from your specific project. Be suspicious of contractors who bid your job super low as compared to your other bids. This is typically a red flag for a bad contractor, or one that may add on fees/charges as they go along.
Once you have decided upon a contractor for your job, make sure to get a formal contract in writing. Nothing can ruin a construction or remodeling project more than not having a written contract with all details, payments, fees, etc., spelled out in writing that is signed by both you and your contractor.
Do your research, conduct interviews, and play it smart and your Joliet Construction and Remodeling project will go off without a hitch!
