When you are getting ready to embark on a large scale remodeling project in your home, you want to know that the general contractor you choose is the right pick for you. There are several ways that you can ensure you are choosing the right person for the job. Abco Design | Pancho Construction Inc. is here to share our top tips for choosing the contractor that is the right fit for your remodeling project.

Get Recommendations when Hiring a Contractor

Before you get started on your remodeling project, the first step will be to find the right general contractor. It is hard to choose the right person for the job when you have no idea where to start. When you ask your family and friends if they have had any good experiences with a good general contractor, you are more likely to find someone that you like as well.

Have a Remodeling Project Plan in Place

One step that will make finding the right contractor for you will be to have a plan set in place for your project before you talk to your contractor. This doesn’t mean that you have to have all the finishes for your project chosen, but you definitely need to have a list of the ideas that you have for your vision of the big project.

Get Several Quotes from Contractors

You don’t want to always choose the first contractor that you talk to. You should set up a consultation with several contractors so that you can see which one will work the best with you and your project. If you get a low ball quote, you may want to think twice before you choose that one. There’s usually a reason that the quote is so low.

References for General Contractors

You should do your homework before choosing the right person for your remodel. You should always check for licensing, any complaints made by past customers and make sure there are no litigation with a contractor you are about to hire. You can usually check up on a general contractor with the Better Business Bureau before hiring to check for problems in this contractor’s past.

Don’t Pay Contractor Upfront

Any time you are hiring a general contractor, you should expect to pay at least 10 percent of the job upfront. However, you don’t want to pay for the entire project upfront and have your money go towards paying off another client’s remodel. You should set up a payment schedule that has different milestones in the project that will require payment. This will keep your general contractor coming back to finish the job in a timely manner.
