What to Ask a Potential Residential Remodeling Contractor
Finding the right residential remodeling contractor is key to getting everything you want out of your Vero Beach home remodeling project. Who you hire directly affects how much you enjoy the process as well as the outcome of each aspect of the construction. Before you dive right in and settle on someone, it’s good to know what to ask them as you call around to set up estimates.
While most remodeling companies offer free estimates, there’s more to it than getting something for free. Not all residential remodeling contractors in Vero Beach are the same, so you need to know what to ask those you plan to call about getting an estimate.
As a Vero Beach general contractor, we want to help you with several important questions to ask the residential remodeling contractor so that you can make an informed decision.
What can I expect in terms of a payment schedule?
You’ll want to know if the contractor offers payment options for your residential remodeling project. Ask whether they require half upfront, all upfront, payments spread out during the process, or what type of payment terms they offer.
Also, find out if they accept credit cards, offer financing, or what other payment types they accept.
How long is the product warranty?
If the contractor will be building certain aspects which will include the installation of appliances or other products, be sure to ask them about the product warranty. The manufacturer should warrant their product against defects. In most cases, this warranty will only cover product defects and not the installation.
If you run into any problems with a Vero Beach residential remodeling contractor who’s evasive or rude, move onto someone else because you shouldn’t ever be made to feel wrong for asking questions and they may just be hiding something!
What type of guarantees do you give?
The remodeling company may provide a labor warranty or guarantee their workmanship for a certain length of time. Be sure to ask each contractor you call about their workmanship guarantee.
How long will it take to build my screen enclosure?
You’ll need to know how long it will take to complete your remodeling project. The contractor should be able to estimate how long it will take. The more information you get from the Vero Beach companies you call, the better. Our best advice is to ask plenty of questions and expect to get the answers you need.
