Choosing A Home Remodeling Company
Finding the home
remodeling company who's right for you is not as simple as picking up the
Yellow Pages. On a big home remodeling project, you may be working closely with
this individual for several months, so you want to do everything possible to
ensure that you make the right decision. Here are some good places to start
your search:
-
Seek referrals from friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, and
others who have had home remodeling work done.
-
Talk to independent trade contractors, building materials
suppliers, architects, engineers, home inspectors, and local lenders.
-
Look for professional certifications like Certified Graduate
Remodelor (CGR) and Certified Aging in Place Specialist.
-
Contact trade associations such as Michigan's Remodelors™
Council or utilize the Builders Industry Association for finding a proper
contractor.
Once you have identified some strong home remodeling candidates,
do even more checking to ensure that these are the kinds of home remodeling
companies with whom you would like to do business.
-
Contact Local Consumer Protection Agencies
-
Call your Michigan's consumer protection agency and the Better
Business Bureau to find out if there are any unresolved complaints filed against
the home remodeling company.
-
You should also contact your Michigan's contractor licensing
agency and state and local building inspectors to verify that the home
remodeling company has the appropriate license(s) and a clean record. You can

Interview Previous or Present Customers
An essential step in your decision-making process is to check a
home remodeling company's references. Ask for the names and phone numbers of
current and former customers; then take the time to interview them (preferably
in their homes so that you can take a look at the home remodeling company's
work).
Some of the questions to ask include:
-
Would you hire this company again?
-
Did the home remodeling company maintain a neat work site?
-
Did the crew show up on time? Were you pleased with their work
style?
-
Was your home remodeling project completed on time and within
the budget?
-
Was the home remodeling company easy to talk to and did he or
she keep you informed as the job progressed?
Home Remodeling is a very personal process. The home remodeling
company you hire will be part of your home life for several weeks or months, so
it's important to make sure that your personalities work well together. If, for
example, you want to know every detail as the home remodeling project
progresses, you probably won't be happy with a home remodeling company given to
one-word answers.
The bottom line is: Do you feel comfortable with this individual? A strong
rapport and close communication with your home remodeling company will help make
any job go well.
