Choosing the right Contractor

When you have reached the point to take your project from plan to product. Don’t let choosing the right contractor stand in the way.

Things to look out for

High pressure salesmen:

Don’t let someone persuade you into making a decision that you are not comfortable with, or if you need more time, to do research so you can make a well informed decision that suits your needs.

Compare Apples to Apples:

If you get several bids with a  wide range of prices make sure all the contractors estimates are for the same services, that none of them have left anything out or are using the wrong products for your project. Never hesitate to ask questions.

Go with your gut:

Most of the time, if you take price out of the question, your first instinct is your best. Choose the contractor you think is the most qualified to complete your project the way you want it.
