  • Check with family and friends to see if they have recommendations for you
  • Interview at least two or three different contractors to see who would be the best fit for you and your project
  • Make sure the contractor is currently licensed where the work is to be done
  • Ask your top choices for references, and check with the BBB to make sure the contractor is on the up and up
  • Get bids for the work from your top choice contractors
  • Check on the payment schedule they use, if they want all the money up front, that is something to be wary of
  • Remember that the lowest price is not always the best deal in the long run
  • Get everything you agree to in writing prior to starting the work
  • If you make changes during the work process, make sure and get them in writing along with the price change
