We're A Leading Contractor Referral Service But Before You Hire a Contractor
First, decide how much you can afford to spend - this will help a contractor determine what's feasible and what's not. Then comes the fun part: deciding what you want. Home and decorating magazines, websites and home-improvement stores are good resources. Keep a file folder with pictures of what you like. The clearer your ideas going into the project, the easier the planning will be.
It is important that you select a contractor who understands your needs, and works with you to keep the project within your budget. A contractor should provide several choices when selecting materials, products and services, and help you decide on an affordable option.
Here are some questions to get you started:
Do you want to keep the existing floor plan or create a new one?
Are you altering or working within the current space?
What do you like and dislike about your current kitchen?
Are there specific materials you would like to use?
Which appliances, if any, will you replace?
Will you purchase high-end or budget-friendly appliances?
How to Find a Contractor
With a budget and your ideas in place, it's time to find a contractor. The best way is to ask friends, neighbors and colleagues for recommendations, because a contractor's reputation among former clients is the best gauge of his or her work. It's also a good idea to look at the work a contractor has done for previous clients.
Questions to ask former clients include:
Did your contractor finish the job within the budget? If not, what caused the overage?
Were you informed of the costs as they came up?
How did the contractor handle setbacks or glitches?
Was he or she easy to work with?
What was the contractor's crew like? Were they respectful? Did they clean up after themselves each day?
If plans changed while the work was in progress, were the changes accommodated, or was the contractor inflexible?
Would you hire that contractor again?
