Hiring a contractor may seem to be an overwhelming experience for many families, especially during a first time or major project. That’s not a bad thing because a lot is at stake. A home is usually our biggest investment, and nobody wants to make mistakes. Being cautious is being wise. The National Association of Home Builders offers this advice to consumers, “Know what you want, be honest about your budget, check contractor referrals, inspect their work, get more than one bid, have a written contract, and understand the details.”
Every member of the Brand Construction team is dedicated to providing the best possible customer experience. The following list are our recommendations for anyone looking to hire a quality contractor for a remodel or a major new construction project.
- Start with a detailed plan for what you want.
- This is the most important item before you approach any contractor
- Provide your list of specifications ahead of time
- Price out your project *
- Interview contractors who are properly licensed and insured
- Check out the contractors’ work
- Discuss upgrades and extras, the increased investment is often worth it
- Ask about construction timelines and permits
- Ask about warranties on labor and materials
- Did you “connect” with a contractor? Because working relations are important
- Never proceed without a profession/legal written contract
*Pricing the project may seem overwhelming to the average consumer. We recommend using the Home Advisor website. For example, enter a question such as, “What does it cost to remodel a bathroom” and you will receive an informative range of pricing that is appropriate for the Spokane and the Coeur d’ Alene areas.
If you require structural repairs, remodeling, or new construction, we would be pleased to meet with you, at your location or at one of our two shops, to discuss your project.
Brand Construction is here to make your construction dreams come true.
