When getting started on any type of residential or commercial project, picking the right contractor is a key step. Working with the right partner will make your life easier, and you’ll be far more likely to arrive at a successful result when all is said and done. On the other hand, if you pick a team that isn’t up to the task, you’ll be frustrated and wind up wasting time and money along the way.
So, how do you choose the right contractor for your job in the Phoenix area? Let’s take a look at a few simple tips.
Start with Experience
You simply don’t want to hire a contractor that hasn’t done the kind of work you need for previous clients. It would be an unnecessary roll of the dice to get into a situation where you are using an unproven contractor on an important residential or commercial project. You don’t have to hire the most experienced contractor in Arizona, of course, but you do want to confirm that the people who will be working on your project have been in the business for a while and can be trusted to take the project through to a successful conclusion.
Have a Good Conversation
Sometimes, the best thing you can do when making a big decision is to talk about it for a while. That holds true here, and those conversations should be with the various contractors you are considering. As a starting point, reach out via phone and ask to chat about your upcoming project and its demands. A good contractor will be willing to talk to you – or better yet, they will offer to come out and take a look at the property and what the job will entail. If any contractor you get in touch with doesn’t want to bother to talk with you for a while, just move on to the next.
Talk to References
It’s a good starting point to ask for references when researching contractors, but it would be even better if you took the step of reaching out to those references to see what they have to say. Are they happy overall with the performance of the contractor? Did the quality of the work meet their expectations? What problems came up along the way? Just going over the basics of the contractor’s performance will go a long way toward telling you what you can expect.
Check on the Details
Lastly, don’t overlook the basic details that should be in place for any professional Phoenix contractor that wants to be taken seriously. That means that the contractor should be licensed, bonded, and insured. It’s easy enough to check on the status of a contractor’s license online, so take that step and follow up on any other information to make sure it all checks out. Also, don’t accept any excuses you might hear for why a contractor doesn’t have insurance or an active license – if these aren’t in place, just keep looking.
