Home Improvement
(Continued)
Watch out for red flags: Be cautious of contractors who show up uninvited or pressure you to make a decision on the spot. Also, be wary of contractors who ask for a large upfront payment or only accept cash.
Don't pay upfront: Avoid contractors who demand full payment upfront or ask for a large deposit before starting the work. A reputable contractor will typically ask for a small deposit or payment schedule based on project milestones.
Verify credentials: Make sure the contractor is licensed, bonded, and insured. Check with your state's licensing board to verify their credentials and ensure they are in good standing. This will help protect you in case something goes wrong during the project.
Trust your instincts: If something doesn't feel right, trust your instincts and walk away. It's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to hiring a contractor for home improvement projects.
Taking these precautions can help ensure a successful home improvement project.
