General Remodeling
Whether you are adding a small deck or an entire addition, it pays to choose your remodeling professional wisely.The first step is to figure out the project's scope and size. The best way to proceed is to discuss remodeling goals with everyone living in the household and then to get specific ideas from interior design magazines, the Internet, and the library. After you know what you want, try sketching it out so all possible remodelers will give bids based on the same information. When receiving bids, note they are based on current costs for materials and labor, both of which could go up if your start date is delayed.
After receiving three or more bids, contact your local Better Business Bureau to verify each contractor's performance record. Remember, you shouldn't choose on price alone. Always hire a firm that is licensed, bonded, and insured.
Also it is important to know the difference between an estimate and an itemized bid. An estimate is only approximate and could be several hundred dollars off the actual cost. An itemized bid is an exact tally of all material and labor costs, taxes, and permits. It represents the total price you will pay.
Finally only settle on a contract that contains the following: the name, date, and address of yourself and the contractor; the project details; the completion date; a payment schedule; and signatures from both parties.
Although the process of hiring a contractor can seem daunting at first, the overwhelming majority are trusted professionals.
