Find a Contractor, General Contractors

GetYourQuote.com knows how hard it is to find reliable and trustworthy contractors. They say ‘home is where the heart is’, so a subpar contractor is not an option! This is why we pre-screen all of our contractors, leaving you to choose from the cream of the crop.

What to Consider When Choosing a Home Improvement Contractor:

Know beforehand what you want done and what needs to get done. Do your research so you don’t get roped in by confusing jargon, or say yes to something you don’t need.

Ask your friends or family for a trustworthy contractor. A little social proof never hurts, but make sure you approve of the work the contractor did for them.

Don’t be afraid to ask for references. Ask the references about the specific jobs done and what the contractor did. If the contractor refuses, it could be a sign that something is fishy.

Never give a large payment or pay in full before a job is done. Those confident in their work and skills, don’t usually ask for a large sum up front. If they do, you risk having an incomplete job, losing your money, or both.

Get everything in writing. Make sure all fees and project tasks are accounted for before you sign any contracts.

If a contractor tells you they are too busy to start a job right away, that’s a good sign! More projects on their plate means they’re in demand - being in demand means they’re probably doing a good job.

There are too many contractors online to count, so finding the right contractor can prove to be a hassle. GetYourQuote.com knows this and that’s why we pre-screen all our contractors beforehand. We ensure they produce quality work, have fair prices, and honor set timelines.

Start a Project

There are a few things every homeowner needs to cross off their list before they start any kind of reno project. Follow these easy steps to avoid any surprises along the way:

Have a Plan

Thinking up a new kitchen design, for example, is super fun. Too many ideas, however, can make things complicated and you may end up losing track of them all. Having a plan of concrete ideas can help you home in on what’s needed and its logical execution.This should include blueprints of the final outcome, what you can DIY, and what you’ll need a contractor for.

Budget

Home renos cost money and your budget depends on what you want to achieve. Different contractors are going to give you different quotes, so consider that this budget may fluctuate around 10%. Also consider the cost of supplies and materials - a little room in the budget for ‘surprises’ would help as well. If you find yourself going over budget, trace your steps to see what changes you can make.
