Hiring a trustworthy contractor can be a straightforward process, whether you’re looking for an electrical contractor, heating and plumbing contractor or drywall contractor.
Ask for references of reliable local contractors from friends, family and colleagues and then check them out. Call former customers who had similar work done to make sure they were satisfied with the job. And request a BBB Business Reliability Report at
wynco.bbb.org.
Other BBB tips:
- Get a written estimate
- Ask for proof of insurance
- Make sure they’ll be responsible for the required building permits
- Insist on a written contract and time to review it
- Get any guarantees in writing
- Make final payments only when the work is completed
- Pay by check, not cash
