Do you know how the construction process will affect your (and your family’s) life? What’s a reasonable
timeline from start to finish? What do you envision the end product to look like? And what will it cost?
Before you hire a Deerfield Kitchen remodeling contractor or Deerfield Bathroom remodeling
contractor, ask these questions
We know you’re eager to rip out those ugly, dark brown cabinets and lighting. But before you begin
your remodel, here are some important questions to ask your contractor so there are no illusions and
you know what to expect.
When you’re putting out thousands of dollars, it’s not unreasonable to want to know what you’ll be
getting. Contractor should be able to provide you with names and numbers of past clients. Don’t be
bashful about contacting the people on that list and asking them for feedback.
Contractors who’ve been in business for many years are likely to have worked out the kinks of their
trade, and know what problems are most likely to arise and how to handle them quickly and efficiently.
This shouldn’t cause you to rule out newer contracting businesses – everyone needs to start
somewhere. But the business owner should still have an ample history working for other companies,
with a good individual reputation to back them.
How is Payment Handled?
You should never pay for the entire project before any work is done. While it’s not uncommon to be
asked to pay a minimal portion up front, look for a set schedule that outlines payments as certain
milestones for the work are completed.
You’ll want to know when the project is scheduled to begin, and how long it should reasonably take with
considerations for delays due to weather or holidays. You don’t want to have a project drag out for
months on end because of a contractor who isn’t making your project a priority. Know the reasonable
timeline and your recourse if the project is dragging out for an unreasonably long period of time.
Know how the contractor will leave your home at the end of each day, and at the end of the project. Will
they utilize a dumpster and if so, how long will it be on your property? Will any dust, or dangerous
debris be cleaned up in a reasonable manner so your children or guests won’t be in danger? And once
the project is fully done, it’s reasonable to expect that there will be no construction materials left on
your property – disposal should be the responsibility of the contractor.
