Questions To Ask When Working With a Minneapolis Contractor
Our team here at Sunburst is many things: Minneapolis shutter installers, interior design professionals, and more. But in the end, you could just call us Minneapolis contractors.
There’s no shortage of contractors in Minneapolis, and it might be difficult to pick the best one for you. Whether you’re looking for an entire kitchen remodel, new flooring, or new window treatments – working with the right team is vital. Here are a few questions to ask the next time you hire a Minneapolis contractor for your upcoming project.
Ask About Your Contractor’s Credentials
Regardless of the size of your next project, you need to be able to put your trust in your contractor completely. Build that trust by checking out their credentials. Ask to see proof of their contracting license and certificate of insurance – any contractor worth the money won’t hesitate to show them.
Also take the time to check their reputation. Find out what other customers have said about the contractor from multiple sources:
-
HomeAdvisor
-
Angie’s List
-
Houzz
-
Facebook
-
Google Business
-
Better Business Bureau
-
Yelp
But don’t make the mistake of implicitly trusting online reviews. Reviews are just one thing to consider when looking at your options.
Ask Questions Specific To Your Home
No contractor knows your home better than you, so don’t hesitate to ask any questions you have about your project with any potential home service provider. Are you worried about how the new flooring you want might not work with your subfloor, or wondering if your new wood shutters are a better idea than Roman shades?
Don’t hesitate to speak up and ask the questions that are pertinent to your home!
Ask About Installation Day
Depending on the size of your project, installation day can be grueling and long, or it could be a cinch. For any size project, be sure to get the details for installation day. Start with some of these.
-
About how long will the full job take?
-
How many workers might be coming in and out of my house?
-
Will I need to move any furniture or anything else in the house?
-
How likely is there to be any fumes or dust during or after the installation?
-
How noisy will the installation be?
-
Will I need to remove children or pets from the house during the installation?
Ask About Your Payment Plans
You don’t always need to put your project on hold while you save up the money. Many Minneapolis contractors and home service providers offer payment options or financing assistance.
