The Home Imp. Store

Experience plays a very big roll when hiring a Home Improvement Contractor. Every contractor learns on the job and gets better as time goes by, however, you don't want to entrust your home to someone wo is still learning. When interviewing Contractors, you should ask how long they've been in business, what kinds of projects they have done, insurance coverages as well as licensing.

Also, you should contact your local BBB and your State Licensing Board to verify any problems. This will give you a good picture of their past experience and how it can be applied to your job. Anyone can use a hammer. A skillful contractor can take your home improvement project from just another room in the house to an artful addition for your home.

You want to hire a general contractor who can contribute creatively and has the ability to put all the pieces together in their mind before any work has started. They would also be able to suggest creative approaches to make the aesthetics of the project better. When interviewing contractors ask for examples of their work and a list of recent references.
