The Homeowner and Contractor Bridging the Gap By Vicki Quarant Starting a home renovation or build can be very ex citing, but it can also lead to conflict between home owners and their contractor. Disputes happen from budgets misunderstandings, timeline discrepancies and everything in between. In this article. I am hop ing to bridge the gap for homeowners and their con tractors. There must be excellent communication with your contractor on many and all things or you will de lay your project, for many months to possibly years. The first thing to do is your research on the contrac tor, yes sounds like everyone already knows that but I mean really do your research. For instance, get refer ences, check to see if their license with the state is cur rent as well as making sure they have general liability and workman’s comp insurance. You should also try to keep an eye out to see if they are organized. You should observe how he conducts his business. Are they on time for the initial meeting with you, or does he reschedule appointments often? If they happen to come with their work vehicle, see if you can notice if it’s neatly kept or messy. If so, then this is exactly how they will run your job. Another way to see their work is to ask them what current jobs they are doing, not past jobs but jobs that are in progress. Any reputable con tractor that has pride in his work will be happy for you to visit his sites. Believe me, I have been in this industry for more than 25 years and I have seen everything. A good contractor will not have anything to hide. Keep in mind this will be a job for you in a way, and it is up to you to do your own due diligence on making sure you do your best to pick the right contractor. It will be well worth it in the end! You do not want to have a contractor that you need to constantly keep tabs on. Below is a recap of things that need to be a must. • Great communication • The organization and cleanliness of their current jobs. • They must have a valid state license and updated insurance • Reliable and professional sub-contractors (electri cians, plumbers, etc.) Once you find a contractor that you like and are comfortable with, you need to make sure his contract is a good one. Read it over well or have an attorney review it and explain it to you. Often, too many home owners are anxious and excited to get their project started and glance through the contract and sign it, which can leave room for major problems. It is worth the few hundred dollars to pay an attorney to be safe and sure of what you are signing. Trust me. These are just the first steps in your new journey to take and to understand that there are many more steps to it, but first things first, remember your project must be built on trust and collaboration with both parties. In the end, I want you to have your new homes or renovations be your dream come true! Not your worst nightmare. Call UsToday For ATour or Info!
