Choosing the right contractor can feel overwhelming. You want someone who’s reliable, honest, and skilled—but how do you know who to trust? We’ve heard the stories too: missed deadlines, hidden fees, poor workmanship, and zero communication.
To protect your time and your budget, here are a few things to look for:
Licensing and Insurance – Ask for proof. A licensed contractor will have the qualifications to do the work properly, and insurance protects both of you if something goes wrong.
Local References and Reviews – Check sites like Google, Facebook, or HomeAdvisor. Look for consistent feedback and avoid anyone with a pattern of no-shows or unfinished projects.
Written Estimates and Contracts – A handshake isn't enough. A reputable contractor will provide detailed estimates and written agreements so everyone’s on the same page.
Clear Communication – You want a contractor who answers your questions, returns your calls, and keeps you updated. If that doesn’t happen in the beginning, it won’t get better later.
We believe trust should come before the first nail is hammered. Even if you don’t choose us for the job, we want to help you make a smart, confident decision.
Even if you don’t hire us, we want you to feel confident hiring someone.
