Whether you are remodeling, renovating, or building a new house, your residential or commercial construction job is likely one of the most expensive and important purchases you will ever make. That’s why it is crucial to learn as much about your general contractor as possible before starting work. Vaughan B E &Son, High Point, NC’s most trusted licensed general contractors, have specialized in high-end, local construction projects for over five decades.

Because of their unmatched record of success and a long history of satisfying customers, you can rely on them for invaluable advice when hiring a residential or commercial general contractor. They suggest you ask the following questions of any contractor before making a hiring decision:

  • Is Your Bid Fixed Or An Estimate? You want a fixed bid rather than an estimate so you know exactly how much your job will cost. If a fixed bid is impossible due to unknowns, try to reduce the unknown quantities. Have the contractor examine a crawl space or look within a wall. Otherwise, have the contractor describe in writing the expected tasks. If changes are necessary, you can sign a change order.
  • How Long Have You Been Operating Locally? Look for a contractor with lots of residential and commercial construction experience, many local ties, and a reputation to uphold. The longer they have been operating locally, the better.
  • Who Are Your Suppliers? By speaking with a contractor’s suppliers—lumber yards, fixture suppliers, tile shops—you can gauge the company’s reputation.
  • Are You Licensed & Insured? You want a licensed general contractor who carries adequate business and worker’s compensation insurance coverage. This protects you against liability in case something goes wrong with the job, or a worker is injured on your site.
  • Can You Provide References? Always ask for a list of satisfied customers and be sure to call them.
