4 Important Things to Ask Your Remodeling Contractor

Written by P.J. Sullivan | Oct 10, 2018 11:08:21 PM

A great way to jumpstart your remodeling project is to ask for local referrals from friends and family. Once you have a list of potential remodeling contractors, the next challenge is narrowing down your choices. One easy way to do this is by conducting a face-to-face interview, which can  provide you with a clearer picture of how professional and reliable your prospective remodeler is. This means asking the right questions. PJ Sullivan Construction, one of the top kitchen remodeling companies in Wyckoff, NY and surrounding areas, shares some of the most important questions you ought to ask:.

  1. Can you show me your credentials? Your choice of remodeling contractor should have the necessary licenses, bonds and insurance. These can help protect you and your investment should any issues arise while the work is in progress. A qualified remodeler will acquire the applicable building permits for you and ensure the work meets standard regulations, at the very least. Because they have workers’ compensation and liability coverage, you can avoid accountability in the event of worker injuries or property damage. They’ll even provide compensation if they neglect their responsibilities or fail to complete the project. PJ Sullivan Construction will be happy to show our credentials to any prospective customer who turns to us for an upgrade.
  2. Which manufacturers do you represent? A reliable remodeling contractor does more than provide work–there must be a commitment to quality and continuing education and training. In fact, most exceptional remodelers earn manufacturer certifications. For instance, PJ Sullivan Construction, one of the leading siding companies in the area, is fully certified by James Hardie®. This gives our customers access to some of the highest quality fiber cement siding options available today. Customers also benefit from exclusive, lifetime manufacturer warranties as well as workmanship guarantees.
  3. How long have you been in business? Experience counts for a lot in the home remodeling sector. Finding yourself an experienced remodeler means you need not  worry about costly mistakes or unnecessary property damage. PJ Sullivan Construction has been in the business for 10 years, providing homeowners in the Tri-State area with quality solutions for a wealth of their design-build needs. Whether it’s a bathroom remodel or a home addition, expect only timely and efficient workmanship.
  4. Do you have a list of references? For your greater peace of mind, ask your remodeler for a list of references. Getting feedback directly from previous clients will offer you a more accurate picture of your contractor’s quality of work, and how they address concerns and contingencies. When you choose PJ Sullivan Construction to handle your home upgrade, for instance, we work closely with you throughout the design process.
