Solving the Home Improvement Puzzle 
Standards for Hiring a Reliable Contractor

When considering your next home improvement project, a reliable home contractor is essential to creating a custom project that will last the life of your home.  Plan to get three quotes so you can make an honest comparison between companies.  Research about the company by visiting the Better Business Bureau and read customer reviews from independent sources such as GuildQuality. Below are several topics to discuss with each home contractor that provides you a quote for services.

Understand the Contractor's Pricing Policy

• Look for products backed with a 100% Material and Labor Guarantee.  
• Seek competitive discounts without deceptive overpricing.
• Understand comparisons of quality and value.
• Search for aggressive pricing without "Appointment Day Only" discounts.
• Check out honest value at a fair price.

We often tend to want to know "what's the price?"  Keep in mind, price is a concern only once: when you make the purchase.  Cost is buying a low priced item only to realize that the "low price" is attached to other hidden expenses.  As the old axiom states, "Beware the cost of the lowest price." Further, "It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little.  When you pay too much, you lose a little money -- that is all.  When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do."  

Your contractor should eliminate your risk of... 

• Uninsured contractors working on your home
• Subcontractors placing a labor lien on your home
• Suppliers placing a material lien on your home
• "Gone out of business" nonsense
• Requests for additional money at the end of the job
• "Bait and switch" substitutions of products
• Inexperienced installers working on your home
• Unfinished details
• Damage to your landscaping
• Messy debris left in your yard
• Unprofessional work crews
• Vulgar or abusive language during the job
• Reach an answering service in lieu of actual employee
• Lengthy service request delays

Mike's Reply:  Thanks for your question.  When hiring a contractor for your home improvement project, we recommend going to your local Better Business Bureau website.  They provide a list of BBB accredited businesses within the Construction & Remodeling Services.  You can view how long a company has been a member of the BBB, read reviews, and get the business rating.  We recommend that you request several quotes from BBB A+ rated companies to make your best choice in selecting a service for your new project.
