What is the best method of communication with the contractors so everything goes smoothly?
How do you find contractors that you can trust?
At Clear Sky Properties, LLC, we’ve worked with a lot of contractors in Fort Wayne — and we’ve learned a thing or two about optimizing the process.
More specifically, here are some tips…
1. Get referrals from friends or family
If you know someone who’s recently had work done on their home, they may be able to recommend a good contractor.
You can also check online review sites like Angie’s List or Yelp.
2. Ask for estimates
After identifying a few potential contractors, reach out and ask for written estimates.
Be sure to be clear about what work needs to be done and the materials that will be needed.
3. Check their references
Before hiring a contractor, take the time to check their references.
Ask previous clients if they were satisfied with the work that was done and if they would recommend the contractor.
4. Get everything in writing
Once you’ve chosen a contractor, be sure to get everything in writing.
This includes a detailed description of the work to be done, the materials that will be used, and the price.
5. Stay involved
Even after hiring a contractor, it’s important to stay involved in the process.
Check in regularly to make sure the work is being done to the agreed-upon standards.
If you have any questions or concerns, be sure to raise them with the contractor right away.
Following those tips will help things run more smoothly when you hire a contractor.
