How to Find the Best and Most Qualified Kitchen Remodeler
Finding the right professional when doing a kitchen remodel may seem a daunting task; however, it doesn’t have to be. A few basic steps could mean all the difference of finding and having complete confidence in a contractor.
Ask around for referrals.
Word of mouth is one of the best ways to finding a professional to do the job. Ask family, friends and co-workers who have had good experience using such contractors. Also, ask exactly what made it such a good experience, how the contractor coped with any unexpected problems, and whether they would ever use the same contractor in the future?
Check at Credentials.
Armed with your recommendations, perform some preliminary checking, either by a phone call or take a look at a remodeler’s website. Ask to see if the kitchen remodeler has all the licenses from state and local municipalities, in addition to any designations from professional organisations.
Always Check References.
Once a business relationship has been made, ask to see some of the remodeler’s previous projects. if they meet your approval, ask for references, and subsequently call to verify all of them.
Get Everything in Writing.
Once you have narrowed down your choice to one contractor, read carefully all the documents they have given to you. Are they professional? Carefully read the contract. Is it fair and balanced? Make sure the written contract will include a price and payment schedule, scope of work, a plan of the site plan, a schedule of construction jobs, a change order paragraph, a warranty, a clause regarding any dispute resolution and waiver of lien, which stops contractors or suppliers putting any lien on the house if their invoices are not paid by the remodeling contractor. If everything is in order, then sign on the dotted line.
