Six
Tips for selecting a Contractor
Ask a trusted
neighbor, friend or your local Anchor dealer for a
recommendation. Inquire specifically
about the quality of the contractor's work and whether the
project was completed
on time and on budget.
Require
your contractor to show documentation of licensing and
bonding. Licensing guidelines
vary by state and municipality. Call your city hall to determine
what is required
in your area.
Ask
for a schedule, with estimated starting and
adding
dates.
If it's important that the job be completed
within a
specified
time frame, communicate this to your
contractor.
Determine
who will perform the work and whether
subcontractors will
be retained.
Request
a detailed bid and contract. If, after
reviewing
either document,
you need clarification on any aspect of the
project,
ask for
it in writing. Both parties should sign and
date the
contract.
Ask
for lien waivers. Lien waivers protect you from being held
responsible for payment
to the contractor's suppliers and subcontractors once you
have paid your contractor
in full.
Look
for a good fit. A compatible
contractor/homeowner
relationship
is crucial to the success of your project.
Assess
your contractor's
personality to make sure it is a good fit
with your
own. For
example, if you are a meticulous person,
you'll
prefer a contractor
who pays the same attention to
detail.
