What You Should Consider Prior to Renovations

The bathroom is an integral part of your home where some may spend a decent amount of time in. Contractors play a pivotal role when it comes to remodeling a bathroom. Now, the question arises, what should you consider prior to hiring a contractor for your remodeling project? Well, some tips for hiring a contractor are mentioned below.

Appearance and manners

One of the most important aspects to consider before hiring a contractor is their attitude. Since you are allowing a stranger into your home, the contractor should appear pleasing and have good manners. The contractor should listen and understand your desires while offering some suggestions. 

Contract of contractor

Ensure that your contractor is willing to put both his scope and bid of work in writing. If not, then you should definitely reconsider hiring them. There have been instances where contractors pledge to have remodeling done but in the middle of the work he or she says that it will be more expensive.

Debit or Credit cards

You should check with your contractor whether he or she accepts debit or credit cards. This lays focus on the financial condition of your contractor. Besides, it is usually more convenient to use a charge card opposed to cash or check.

References and photos

You should ask your contractor to provide you with a list of references regarding his or her trustworthiness and work. After receiving references, contact them to ensure his or her reliability as well as working background. Aside from this, try to get photos of previous work from the same type of bathroom remodeling projects. The photos will give you an idea about their work and what you can expect.

Proof of insurance

You should confirm that your contractor has proof of insurance. This is very important because if an accident takes place within your house and the contractor gets injured, there is a possibility that you will have to pay for their loss if they are uninsured.
