If you’re hiring a contractor to do work around your home, ask these questions first:
1. What is your schedule like? The best contractors might be in demand, so don’t waste your time or theirs before assuring that your time frame and their match up.
2. Do you have referrals? Ask for the names and phone numbers of past clients. If they refuse for any reason find someone else. Follow up with the referrals and get feedback from the homeowners. If the referrals are willing, go check out the contractor’s work in person.
3. What is your name and license number? Get the full legal name of the contractor’s business as well as all contact information and the license number. Follow up by calling around and verifying the status of the contractor and their insurance policies.
