18 Questions to Ask So Your Project Won’t Become a Home Remodeling Nightmare

If you ask these questions and require that the contractor put their answers in writing you will learn a lot about the contractor’s reputation, policies, procedures and experience. This may seem like a pain but consider the alternative of living through a remodeling nightmare. It’s even worse after they leave because you will be reminded of the shoddy work every time you walk in the room.

Here are 3 areas we recommend you consider in evaluating every general or remodeling contractor you talk to:

Reputation
Experience and Methods
Service and Follow-through

For each area simply ask the questions and ask the general or remodeling contractor to provide the written evidence to support their answers.
