How to Find a Good Contractor ⋆ Schoenberg Construction, Inc.

How to Find a Good Contractor— Are you planning a home remodeling project? Or, maybe you plan to build a custom home in the next few years. Either way, it can be tough to find a good contractor for the job. (Especially if you don’t have much experience with construction work. And, few homeowners do.)

Good contracting is essential to you getting what you want, how you want it. There are 3 keys to finding the right construction contractor we explore below. After you’ve read them, you will know how to find a good contractor for your next construction project.

How to Find a Good Contractor

How do you know you’re choosing a good contractor you can rely on? Well…

We have years of experience in the contracting field. During this time, we’ve come to learn that good contracting work is really about three things:

Trust
Knowledge
Results

If you can find a builder who offers you all three, you can feel confident that your home is in good hands.

Let’s take a closer look and find out how you can choose a building contractor who has what you need.

Key #1 — A Trusting Relationship

Construction is a complex process. There are tons of moving parts and many decisions to make when building. This can be stressful.

When you hire a trustworthy contractor, you’ll feel comfortable asking them questions. Further, you’ll have faith that they will give you honest answers. (You’ll also feel confident following their recommendations.)

The right contractor is essential to a smooth, successful project. They can help you lower your stress during construction. They will also ensure you get what you want.

But how do you know if you are talking with the right contractor for the job?

If you meet with a contractor and feel uncomfortable… or as though he or she isn’t being totally straight with you.

Then…

You should look for someone else to work with. We mean it. Follow your gut feeling and do NOT proceed!

In other words, first, you must trust in yourself and in your choices. And second, you must trust your contractor. You see, trust is the foundation of a good client-contractor relationship. You need it to have a successful project.

Yes, when you work with a qualified contractor who you trust has your best interests at heart, it is very likely you will get the project you want.

Better yet, you can rest assured that it is very unlikely you’ll get swindled.

And, best of all… the odds are in your favor you’ll end up with the home of your dreams.

Key #2 — Knowledge About the Entire Construction Process

Ok, so key #1 is finding a contractor you can trust. Now, you need a contractor who is qualified, experienced, and knowledgeable in construction.

Avoid quick-service companies and new contractors. Quick service companies can be VERY expensive. New contractors lack the necessary experience (or in some cases, the necessary licenses!) to perform high-quality work.

Think about it. You would never trust an unqualified doctor to treat your body. So, why would you trust less than an expert contractor to work on your family’s home? (The answer is obvious.)

So choose a knowledgeable, experienced contractor. You’ll ensure they have all the skills and experience to give your family and your home exactly what they need.

Key #3 — Building Results You Love!

Finally—and above all—you need a contractor who will deliver results.

No matter how much you trust your contractor…

And, no matter how much he or she knows about construction…

You’ll only be satisfied with your project if the contractor can deliver real results.

So…

Check out the contractor’s previous work. And verify references and recommendations from his or her previous clients. Your goal is to find someone whose finished work reflects what they’ve promised to deliver to you.

You see, when you choose a good contractor you trust…

And you can verify they have experience and results on his side…

You will feel confident that you’ll end up with a finished project that fulfills your family’s wants and needs. In the end, that’s what matters the most.

And that’s our advice on how you can find a good contractor. Best of luck to you

Until next time…
