We, at JD Construction Team are committed to our client’s vision of a perfect home. Below we will present you with 5 tips on what to look for when hiring a contractor. Home renovations require a great deal of attention and homeowners who start a remodeling project often overlook how much stress renovation process can cause. That’s where we come in!
It feels fantastic coming into a lovely home where you and your family spend most of your time. At times, clients’ primary focus when thinking about renovations comes down to price. While the cost is essential, it should not be the only factor when making the final decision on who will build your dream home. For instance, would you want poor quality construction details staring you in the face day after day?
It is vital you do your due diligence before hiring a contractor that fits your needs. There are always more variables to consider, but these 5 are a great place to start!
Transparency: We believe transparency to be one of the most fundamental principles. It is important that you understand the status of the project at all times. The cost of the project, and issues you might encounter. Through transparency and communication, the contractor should build trust with their clients.
Licensed Professionals: Unfortunately the market is flooded with unlicensed professionals. This can be dangerous for the homeowners and will put the entire project at risk besides the fact that it is illegal to contract without a license. In our experience, we have had to fix many projects started by other unlicensed and unqualified individuals.
Communication: Communication is critical in any relationship. There must be a clear understanding of the clients needs and having an open flow of communication between the client and contractor. The contractor should be always available via phone calls, emails, or whatever form of communication that best works for the client.
Project Timeline: Every project has a timeline it must follow, and contractors should do their best to adhere to the project deadlines and goals. A telltale sign is when the clients project deadlines around without notice or reason. Again, communication and transparency are essential in this regard.
Client Service: The client/contractor relationship is very important. Customer service is a must in this business. Without the client, there is no contractor, plain and simple. A good contractor just does not react to the problems their clients might face. It is very important to go beyond by anticipating issues before they arrive and provide the client with solutions.
Finding a contractor that meets your needs for the project is as important as the project itself. Do not settle for any less than what you and your beautiful home deserve! We hope these 5 items help you in making a more informed decision on what to look for when hiring a contractor. This way you are more informed when you plan your next construction project.
