Finding the perfect contractor might seem like a daunting task. With so much information available and so many choices to compare, the process can be long and tedious. However, there are some ways to make the process simpler while keeping your best interests in mind. Here are some tips for how to find a contractor:
Start by trying to find a personal recommendation for a contractor. If a relative or friend has had a positive experience with a particular contractor, there's a good chance you'll be satisfied with them, too. Ask for information about customer service, pricing and how long it took to complete the job. Getting advice from somebody you know personally is a good way to make sure your best interests are valued.
If you're working with a real estate professional, ask them if they recommend a contractor. You can also try this approach with other professionals you might be working with, such as home stagers, appraisers or inspectors. Real estate is all about networking and there is a good chance your agent knows somebody who can help you with your project. If not, they may be able to point you in the right direction.
Online research is always a smart option for finding a contractor, but best when combined with one of the other two options. Relying on review websites alone can give you a skewed opinion of an individual or service, whether positive or negative.
However, there are some important facts you can find online to help your decision. The best one to begin with is if the contractor has a website or another place with their contact information readily available. You can also find certifications and accreditation info to determine whether a contractor is associated with any major organization or professional network.
