If you’re about to start working on a residential, commercial, or industrial construction project, you need to enlist a reliable general contractor. However, before you make the hire, the professionals at Americom Construction Co. say it’s important to screen a few candidates, so you can find the best company for the job. Serving residents throughout Mountain Home, AR, the premier construction company provides a wide range of top-quality general contracting services, including excavation, concrete construction, and metal building.

Below, the experts share a few questions you should ask a general contractor before hiring anyone: 

Are You Licensed?

The first question you should ask a potential general contractor is if they are licensed. Make sure they provide proof, so you can also check with the local building department to ensure it’s still valid.

Are You Bonded & Insured?

If an accident or an injury occurs on-site, you could be held liable if the contractor is not insured. Bondage is also just as important as it will protect the owner from financial damage if the general contractor fails to complete the project.

How Long Have You Been in Business?

Just because a general contractor is licensed does not mean they have been practicing for a long time. To ensure peace of mind, you’ll want to hire a general contractor with a positive, lengthy track record.

Can You Provide a List of References?

You should ask a potential contractor for a list of at least three references you can call to follow up with. If they are confident in their work, they should be more than willing to share this information with you.

How Can I Get in Touch With You & Your Crew?

Open communication is key when working with a general contractor. Don’t hesitate to ask them about the other projects they currently have in the works and who will be your main point of contact.
