Assembling the right team for your home remodel is no easy feat, so we compiled a list of must-ask questions when interviewing General Contractors. We hope this makes narrowing down your options a bit easier and gives you the answers to know exactly what to expect. If you need help gathering your team, partner with us and utilize our network of trusted contractors, vendors, trades and more!
- How many jobs do you have in progress right now? How many do you typically take on at a time? You want to know if your contractor is overloaded with jobs and will potentially divert attention away from your project due to business.
- Will I have a consistent point of content on my job site each day, leading the crew? Is this who I should direct my questions to? Having a clear point of contact prior is essential to guarantee a smooth remodel.
- What time can I expect your crew to arrive on site every day? What time can I expect the crew to work until each day? Do you foresee any gaps in the schedule where your crew may not be on site certain days or weeks?
- How do you break down your bid? Is there a pre-construction agreement required prior to bidding the project? Some contractors charge to bid your project. Understanding your estimate breakdown will help clarify how competitive your quote is.
- After providing a quote, can you provide a weekly schedule detailing what will be accomplished until job completion?
- What are your payment terms?
And always ask for referrals!
