how to evaluate contractors
There are some basic rules that you should follow when hiring a contractor to ensure that you protect your investment and receive the best overall service:
steps:
- start with a pre-screened, member-preferred contractor search. These contractors have been reviewed and rated by other customers.
- review customer ratings and testimonials.
- check for business references and membership associations to ensure the contractor's quality of service.
- specify on paper exactly what is expected to be done. You want to avoid any surprises or disagreements.
- use our contractor evaluation sheet to evaluate each contractor for price, references, and quality of service.
- don't release funds until after the project has been inspected for quality and performance of service. Once you release the funds, you lose all negotiating power in the event of a problem.
