Find a reliable Contractor

So you’re looking to get your house remodeled and you need to take that next step by finding a reputable contractor in your area to get the job done--There are a few things you should do to make sure you’re hiring the right contractor for you and your home.  First, make sure the contractor is properly insured and licensed in St. Louis.  Reputable contractors will be more than happy to provide you with this information if requested.  Secondly, check the Better Business Bureau website and make sure they don’t have any outstanding issues. This could be a red flag as to a future headache.  Often good contractors are accredited with the BBB (Better Business Bureau) which means the BBB does a background check on the company to make sure there are no issues with licenses, insurance or unhappy previous customers who have not been resolved consumers complaints to the BBB’s satisfaction.  Lastly, before you meet with your contractor make sure you have all your plans, budget and financing set up as well as possible money for your deposit.   A deposit is almost always needed for your contractor; a good contractor will work with you on your budget and may set up payment schedule as work is completed according to your mutually agreed upon plan and contract.
