Finding the Best Contractors

If you're like most Canadians, your home is the most precious financial asset you have. It's also the place you want to feel the most relaxed. That's why it's important that your home be the way you want it - and why it's so important to find the right general contractor, handyperson, plumber or electrician that fits both the needs and the budget for your home improvements.

Never hire a contractor because they were the first name you ran across, or because their advertisement was biggest. Find local home improvement contractors through referrals and other reputable sources.

Research professionals in your area. Interview candidates; ask questions. What do the home improvement contractors know about eco-friendly home improvement?  Do they provide total home improvement handyman services?  Do they offer free home improvement professional advice?  What can they tell you about home improvement projects that add value to property?  What type home improvements have they worked on?  Do they have references you can contact and pictures of previously completed jobs?

Ask for proof of licensing and insurance; get contact information for references. Check everything out; make sure no formal complaints exist against the contractors. After selecting the best home improvement contractor for the job, get full project details in writing. Don’t begin work or sign anything until you have a detailed contract that you have read thoroughly in-hand, signed by both parties.  

For larger, more extensive home improvements you might prefer the services of a well established general contractor with a reputable team of professional tradesmen. Hiring a general contractor is usually easier, more efficient, less confusing and time consuming than trying to find individual local home improvement contractors and manage the project yourself. In addition, hiring a general contractor nstead of multiple independent professionals can save on project costs.
