Frequently Asked Questions
Look for proper licensing, insurance, references, and online reviews. Ask for documentation and check with past customers when possible. A professional contractor should be willing to provide this information.
A good contract typically includes: scope of work, materials to be used, timeline, payment schedule, and any warranty information. Consider having important agreements reviewed by a professional if needed.
Payment schedules vary by project and contractor. Many contractors request a deposit upfront with progress payments as work is completed. Discuss payment terms clearly before starting any project.
