What Questions Should I Ask My Remodeling Contractor?
How long has your remodeling company been in business? (Ask probing questions about their experience vs. business experience.)
Are you licensed in my municipality? (Cities, states and counties may have different requirements. Make sure that the contractor has gone through all of the necessary channels to obtain any required certifications specific to their field of expertise.)
Do you work with a dedicated team and how well are you connected with subcontractors and trade professionals? (Contracting companies often work on multiple projects at a time, so it’s important to verify that you can count on consistency in who comes to work on your home each day.)
What experience do you have with my specific type of project? (Different types of general contracting projects require different a unique set of skills.)
Can the costs of all permits be added into your bid? (Permits should be pulled and issued in the Contractor’s name not yours. If the contractor hesitates it may indicate a red flag. Perhaps they have issues working in the city or are not licensed. Ask clarifying questions.)
How do you provide a description of the work? (Make sure it outlines all of the work, materials, and products that will go into the job. What will be knocked and torn down, what will be constructed—and each different material and fixture that will be used, with its associated cost.)
Can you add “start and end dates” into my contract? (The point is that you both have an understanding of when work will commence and approximately when it will get completed.)
Can you address how the changes to the contract? (No changes to the original scope of work can happen until your contractor has given you clear description, costs, and what it does to the schedule. Change orders should be done in written format: email, pen & ink. Verbal agreements should be followed up with an email and confirmation from the contractor.)
Can you explain how the grace period works? (Some states allow for the homeowner three days rescinding their contract without penalty. If you’re not in one of these states you can request this to be added in. This helps prevent you from losing your deposit if something goes wrong early on.)
Can you add language into my contract that removes any liens? (Any professional that comes into your home as part of the crew has the ability to put a lien on your house claiming they were not paid. Request and ask about lien waivers as you make each installment.)
