Selecting a Contractor — part one

Narrowing Down the List

Most areas have quite a few contractors from which to choose. You need to select from the list of available contractors those whom you will “qualify”. Here are some ideas to start you on the path to hiring a contractor that is experienced, dependable, honest, skilled, and hardworking.

• Ask family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues if they have worked with a contractor who did a good job, was pleasant to have around, and had good communications skills.

• We work with many contractors and would be glad to recommend some for you to consider.

• Another good source for information on local contractors are the local contractors’ associations.
