There are many general contractors to choose from in the Fairbanks, AK, area, but not all of them will be the perfect fit for you. So how do you find the best professional for the job? When selecting a company, there are several factors to consider, from the scope of your project to the timeline you have for completion. It’s also important to select a reputable organization that will give you the most out of your investment. 

For those considering a commercial or residential remodel, here are four factors to keep in mind as you select a general contractor: 

• Ask for Referrals: One way to find a professional is through referrals from construction clients. Ask neighbors or businesses in the area who recently had work done. Inquire about efficiency, workmanship quality, and how well they listened to and handled requests. 
• Interview Potential Contractors:  Enlisting a general contractor is no different from a company hiring an employee. Before making up your mind on a professional, sit down and discuss your vision with them and ask detailed questions.
• Get an Itemized Estimate: When receiving an estimate or bid from potential construction contractors, ensure it outlines exactly what labor and material are included, as well as a detailed timeline of the proposed project. An itemized document gives you a better idea of the scope of work you need and protects you from hidden fees. 
• Check for References & Insurance: A reputable contractor will have a list of references they’re happy to provide upon request. The State of Alaska requires all contractors to be licensed, bonded and insured.  When in doubt, ask for a copy of their contractor’s license.
