If you are in need of home remodels or renovations and are looking to hire a contractor, do you know what to look for when choosing one? Review our tips on what to look for when choosing a quality renovation contractor and how our company, TBrothers Renovations, can help you with your home renovation project.
The first thing to do is research “home remodeling near me” to find contractors in your area. Ask your friends and family if they have any recommendations. In the days of social media, all you have to do is post a status asking for remodeling contractors (you can even add your location to get better results) and let the comments roll in.

It is important that your contractor has insurance and the proper credentials. When you are researching the different businesses look to see if they have certifications, licenses or memberships to different groups designated by their trade. It is vital to make sure they are insured. If you can’t find it on their website, make sure to ask before moving them forward on your potential contractor list.
As you progress in your search, look for their process on renovations/ remodeling on their website, or ask about their process and what they do through their business and what they subcontract out. Ask if they take on more projects at once and if they will be able to work with your schedule and time. If they are seasoned professionals, they should be able to (within reason) breakdown their reno process to potential clients.
It is important to interview your contractors before you choose one. This might seem tedious but, your remodeling project is going to take time, and you want it done right and to your satisfaction. When interviewing them, ask about how they will handle your project as best they can and the timeline in which they believe they can turn it around. There is a chance your project will take longer than expected due to unforeseen circumstances.
References for similar projects are also great to ask for when interviewing a potential contractor. Ask the contractor if they have references for work they’ve done within the realm of your project.
Once you’ve chosen your remodeling contractor you will set up a detailed contract that lays out the cost of labor and materials and the labor costs. It will also detail the work being done and subcontractors being used (if any). It should have a project timeline and permissible work times. The contract should also include where the contractors should park and even which bathroom they should use if necessary. You will be able to add addendums during the project, but you and your contractor should come up with a detailed contract before the work gets started so no surprises pop up that could delay the work.
Most remodeling projects will also require permits from your city or township. Your contractor should be able to apply or assist you in applying for these permits. Make sure you apply for these permits as soon as you discuss your project with your contractor. You don’t want your remodel to be held up because there are issues with the permit being approved.
