Our recent blogs have focused on topics that will help you choose the right home remodeling professional for your renovation project. We’ve covered misconceptions, budgeting your costs for your remodel, things to watch out for when hiring your contractor, asking the right questions, and how to ensure a smooth project. (These blogs are full of great information if you haven’t read them yet, you can read them all here. In this blog, we help you with questions to ask your contractor’s references. We know it can seem a bit awkward to talk to a complete stranger about a contractor that has done work on their home but getting their take on how their remodel project went and how they felt about their contractor, will definitely give you confidence in choosing the right contractor for your home renovation! We have found that most people will want to share their experience with you and even show you their remodel!! Remember, too, when asking for references from a potential contractor, ask to see a current project they are working on.
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR CONTRACTOR’S REFERENCES
What type of project or projects has the contractor done for you?
Did they do a quality job?
Why did you choose this contractor?
Did you get prices or opinions from other contractors that you feel had comparable specifications and credentials, if not, Why? And if so, how did they compare?
What would you say about the crew members that did your work – were they respectable and clean? Did they seem to know what they were doing?
Was the contractor responsive to you your questions and/or concerns? Could you reach him quickly?
Did the contractor do what he said he would do?
Were there any additional charges and if so, were they handled in such a way that left you feeling satisfied?
On a scale of 1-10 (ten being highest) how would you rate your overall experience with this contractor?
Do you have any reservations about hiring him again?
May I come by to see the work first hand?
