Aman Mehra | The process of hiring a professional contractor to carry out your bathroom renovations can cause your head to spin quite fast.
It is easy to go around calling yourself a bathroom remodelling pro. People actually need no office or a lot of fancy equipment or tools to run a business. So, individuals who have undertaken some repairs on a few houses or rooms, can easily trick you into believing, they are skilled and experienced bathroom remodelling professionals.
If they have a truck, a tool belt, and a business card, they could deceive any homeowners! Moreover, there are different types of contractors that remodel bathrooms. They may include a handyman, general contractor, builder, construction firm, and a contractor that specializes in only renovations.
So how to go about looking for a Woodinville bathroom contractor to remodel your bathroom?
- Ask your friends and neighbours to determine if they have had good or bad experiences with local contractors. Just knowing that another person has had a good experience with a contractor before giving them a call reduces your chance of hiring a problem.
- Call several companies to ask for quotes on your remodelling project. In this way, you can determine the fair market price for your job. This doesn’t mean you should blindly go with the lowest price. You should go with a Woodinville bathroom contractor you feel most comfortable with. And who you think will do the perfect job. If a contractor is offering a real low price, you need to ask yourself, “why?”.
- Determine exactly what you are planning to do to remodel your bathroom. At the very least you have to have a few general ideas before calling a contractor. These ideas will enable you to make some final decisions. Basically, you should be able to explain your real needs before allowing them to talk you into things.
- Ensure the contractor has insurance. There is a chance of injury and damage to your house when implementing bathroom remodelling. As mentioned already there are some fly-by-night contractors that don’t have insurance. Ask them for their insurance company’s phone number and give the providers a call that proves that they are insured. If you ignore this part, you may be held liable for an uninsured worker’s injury while working on your property. You may furthermore be left with the bill for large amounts of repairs if an uninsured contractor leaves you with a badly damaged bathroom or house.
The Sum Up
Monitor your bathroom remodeling progress, and catch potential problems before it is too late.
