When hiring a contractor:
Check reviews and credentials. Get at least three quotes for comparison. Consider reputation and work quality, not just the lowest bid. Ensure a clear contract with project details and payment terms. Contact past clients for insights. Set clear expectations for timelines. Establish open communication from the start. Avoid large upfront payments; schedule based on milestones. Confirm the contractor handles necessary permits. If something feels off, explore other options.
