7 Mistakes to avoid when hiring a contractor




Planning a home renovation?

🏡🛠️ Don't let these common contractor hiring mistakes turn your dream project into a nightmare!

🧐 Skipping the research phase. Meet with multiple candidates and educate yourself on best practices surrounding your project.

💰 Choosing based solely on price. Consider experience, reputation, and the quality of materials they'll use.

🕵️‍♀️ Neglecting to confirm credentials & insurance. Verify claims and check references to ensure you're hiring a qualified professional.

📝 Proceeding without a written agreement. Outline the scope of work, payment schedule, and any warranty information.

💸 Paying too much upfront. A reasonable deposit is standard, but tie the remaining payments to project milestones.

🚧 Failing to get necessary permits. Make sure your contractor handles all the paperwork to avoid fines and safety violations.

🚩 Ignoring red flags after the project has started. Address any concerns promptly and professionally, and seek legal advice if issues persist.
