Guide to Hiring a Concrete Contractor

What to Look For

Your contractor should be able to prove they’re licensed and insured to protect you from financial liability. You can also look at review sites like Yelp and Angie’s List to determine if they have a good reputation.

Look for a team with a couple of decades of familiarity working on projects like yours. Lengthy experience means they’ll be able to effectively handle your project with reliable results effectively. Call potential contractors to ask whether they’ve worked on projects like yours, and how many jobs they would work on simultaneously while handling your project.

How to Finalize Your Research

Communicate with the contractors and give them details of your project, then ask for an estimate and a timeline. They should be willing to provide this information to you in the form of a contract without any commitment. Read through the agreement to ensure the terms are fair and expectations are clearly outlined.

Take this opportunity to determine if they’re true to their word. For example, if the company says they’ll send an estimate by Monday, and send it late, you’ll likely experience the same issues during the job. If you’d like to perform more in-depth research into your contractor options, most reputable companies are happy to provide you with a list of references.
