Hiring your contractor is one of the most important steps for your project. Hire the right one and you can relax knowing that your project is in good hands. Hire the wrong one and you could be facing a wide range of problems from unfinished work to being sued if workers aren’t paid. It’s a gamble, but with proper research and asking the right questions (along with seeing portfolios and hearing testimonies) you will be able to hire the right contractor.
Here’s some tips on how to hire the right general contractor:

​

• Research and gather information.
  Profile at BBB.org to get free information on their history of complaints, read verified Customer Reviews, and see if they are an Accredited Business. Better to be safe than sorry!

• Ask for references.
  A word of advice is to ask the contractor for a list of recent local references you may contact. Ask the references about the services performed and their overall experience with the contractor and the quality of the work. That way you can get an idea of the kind of whom you are working with.

• Ask for multiple quotes.
  Remember that the lowest bid may not necessarily be the best bid; if one bid is significantly lower than the others, the contractor may be cutting corners or may not understand your work requirements. Be sure to shop around for quotes and not to settle on just the price alone.

• Get it in writing.
  THIS ONE IS VERY IMPORTANT!
  Always get estimates in writing and never let any work begin without a written and signed contract. Do not be pressured into signing an agreement before you are ready and make sure you read and understand everything before signing. The contract should include contact information, start and completion dates, a detailed description of the exact work to be done, any material costs, payment arrangements, and warranty information. Specify who is to obtain necessary building permits and who is responsible for clean-up. Make sure all verbal promises are included in the contract. ALSO NEVER sign an incomplete or partially blank contract. If you don’t understand the contract, be sure to ask for clarification before you sign.

• Verify license and insurance.
  Always be sure that the company you decide to work with has the necessary licenses and insurance to work in your region. You can check the Better Business Bureau for credentials.

• Confirm building permits.
  Your contractor must have the correct permits before starting your project. They will usually obtain permits, but there is a chance that you will pay for them. Such matter should be detailed in your contract. Request that all final inspections be completed by the local building official prior to the final payment.

• Inquire about a lien waiver.
  A lien waiver, in the United States, is a statement from your contractor that says all suppliers and subcontractors have been paid for their work. This will be necessary to avoid any lawsuits from any subcontractors/workers who claim that they weren’t paid. It’s best to keep a few steps ahead to avoid such issues.

• Think about future service issues.
  Make sure you are aware of your warranty coverage and how to deal with service issues.

• Arrange a payment schedule.
  Never pay in full upfront. Space out the payments so your final payment is not due until the work is complete and you have fully inspected it.

• Get a receipt.
  Request a receipt marked “Paid in Full” when the job is completed and your final payment made.

• Keep your contract.
  Hold on to your contract for future reference or if any questions arise after the work is complete.
