Making changes to your home is personal, and the last thing people want to do is hire someone who really doesn’t understand what you want or how you want it. Home improvement is absolutely a worthwhile investment, but if you’re planning on staying in your home for a while it’s important that the remodeling is done to absolute perfection.

With that said, how do you choose the right home remodeling contractor? What are important questions to ask before hiring one? Here are some helpful tips on hiring the right home remodeling contractor:

1. A home improvement company should always offer a free consultation with the general contractor or estimator. If they charge for a consultation, they’re probably a small company who hasn’t been in business long enough to know what they’re doing.
2. The most important thing you should look for at the consultation is the interest level and care of the person you are meeting with. Are they rushed and impatient, or are they interested in what you’re saying and communicating their own ideas to help you? Is their appearance sloppy and dirty, or are they professional? You might think that being in the business of home improvements, looking sloppy isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But remember that an individual with self-respect will be more likely to have respect and care for others.
3. Don’t look at the cheapest price as the most important decision-making point. Do look at what previous clients have said, as well as samples of past products. A cheap home improvement contractor may sound nice since you could save a few hundred dollars, but the amount you may spend in later repairs due to unprofessional or unfinished work could result in costs up to triple the amount you previously “saved”.
4. Above all else, trust your instinct. If you feel uncomfortable or unsure about a home remodeling contractor, find another one. An investment like home improvement is something you should be sure of and happy about. After all, it’s your home we’re talking about.

Home Improvement is a large industry and is very competitive. The majority of home improvement contractors are professional and have a high percentage of satisfied clients, so finding one that’s right for you is pretty simple.
