If you’re planning a construction or home improvement project, you need a reliable provider to do the work. Whether you’re looking for remodeling, excavation, or insulation contractors, the process of finding the right company for the job is essentially the same. Here are a few tips for choosing the best option in your area.

Do

Ask about their license.

In Nebraska, the Department of Labor oversees the licensing of all types of contractors, including remodeling and insulation contractors. Ask about your provider’s license, and follow up by searching for them in the DOL database.

Get a written estimate.

Any reputable contractor should provide you a written, itemized estimate which you can examine before agreeing to the work. Get several estimates to compare the prices and services being offered, as wells as to document what your contractor has promised during your initial discussions.

Ask for references.

One of the best ways to predict how a contractor will perform on your job is to look at how they’ve done on similar jobs in the past. They should be able to point you to multiple satisfied customers.

Don’t:

Just go by price.

The lowest estimate isn’t always the best option, because not every construction company or insulation contractor offers the same service. Are they including all the same options? Do they use lower quality materials? Find out why the price is so low before making a decision.

Ignore reviews.

While every business tends to attract a scattering of bad reviews, the overall trend is usually a reliable way to make a decision. See whether most homeowners are satisfied, or whether there are many reporting the same issues with a provider.

Make hasty decisions.

The best way to find the right contractor is to take your time, ask lots of questions, and consider all the factors. Don’t let anyone rush you into a contract. In particular, don’t blindly trust a contractor who approaches you with cold calls or door-to-door sales. Make sure to back up and evaluate the offer and the company.
