How to Choose the Right Contractors for Your Project

When you have a long to-do list, it can be overwhelming! Even if you are a do-it-yourself when it comes to home improvement projects, sometimes a project feels too big or you may just not have enough time to tackle it. There are so many components to your home that you need to upkeep and maintain and when you throw in emergencies, it is always a good idea to have a trusted contractor in mind. But what should you consider when selecting a contractor?

1. Do your research. Check out the company’s reviews on home improvement project sites, social media and Google. While reviews are not always accurate when disgruntled customers rush to post, they can give an overall glimpse into a company.
2. Local is best. Remember that local companies are the most knowledgeable about needed permits, how certain materials work in local weather and are accessible. Plus, it is always important to support our local businesses that employ local people and give back to our Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland communities.
3. Find a one-stop shop. If you have multiple projects to complete, try to connect with a contractor that can work on many of them. It is always great to form a relationship with a contractor that can be available for future projects and be on stand-by of sorts if you have an emergency.
4. Connect with the company. Call or email the contractor and have a representative come out to review your project. You want to make sure that your project fits their skill sets and availability. Have a conversation about the scope of the project and get a bid and details of the work that needs to be done.
5. Take your time. Before launching your project with a new contractor, think about if it is a good fit for your timeline and your budget. You do not want to rush into a contract and regret it later down the road in a rush to complete your project.
