3 Questions to Ask a Construction Company
Improving your home can be a huge financial investment. Knowing what to expect before you start with the project can help you prepare for any problems. Hiring the right construction company will make a huge difference between your project being a total nightmare or a complete success. Below are 3 of the important questions to ask your contractor before improving your home and tricks to ensure you hire a licensed one.
Can I ask for proof of insurance?
You must always ask for proof of the contractor’s insurance policy, not only to make sure that they carry insurance but to know how much and what kind. Today, multiple construction contractors may have coverage, but it may not be sufficient to cover your property. You want to make sure that their insurance not only covers your property but that they also carry a significant amount of workers’ compensation. If they’re not insured, you can be responsible for injuries that happen to the team or accidents.
Will you be hiring subcontractors?
Your construction company might need subcontractors, so it’s wise to know how this will affect the work you have in mind. Make sure to know who’s working on your home and when, as well as whether they’ll be there to manage. If you’re comfortable with the idea of subcontractors working on your project, then make sure to ask for the names and contact information of everyone who’ll be working at your home. With that, you’ll have at least one point of contact.
How much will the project cost?
Make sure to ask for a written estimate and everything must be detailed so that when you compare them against each other, you know that you’ll find the right deal. Be wary of estimates that are lower than the rest because it might not include all the materials and labor. If you receive a higher estimate than the rest, this can mean that the others were missing an important aspect to complete your project.
