Things you should know before hiring
a Kitchen Remodeling contractor:
Check The Kitchen Remedoling Contractor's License
Unlicensed kitchen remodeling contractors pose a risk to your
financial security because they expose you to significant financial
harm in the event of injury or property damage. Few unlicensed
kitchen remodeling contractors have bonding or workers' compensation
insurance.
Unlicensed kitchen remodeling contractors may not have the
expertise and qualifications to do the job right the first time.
You could end up having to hire a licensed, reputable kitchen
remodeling contractor to correct the work-and paying for the
job twice.
Ask to see the kitchen remodeling contractor's pocket license
and some additional form of identification. The name on the
pocket license should be the same as the name of the kitchen
remodeling contractor or business name the contractor is working
under. It is illegal for one kitchen remodeling contractor to
use another contractor's license, just as it is illegal for
someone to use another person's driver's license.
Check The Kitchen Remodeling Contractor's References
Ask the kitchen remodeling contractor for local references,
and call them to see if they were satisfied with the contractor's
work. Skilled kitchen remodeling contractors will be proud to
take credit for their work. If possible, go out and look at
finished projects. Some consumers even try to find jobs in progress
to see how the kitchen remodeling contractor works and to speak
with the homeowner about work habits, inconveniences, and the
sensitivity of the contractor to the living needs of the homeowner.
Remember, the person you hire to work in your home will be in
and around your home until the job is completed.
You may also wish to check the kitchen remodeling contractor
out with your local building department, trade association or
union, local consumer protection agency, consumer fraud unit
in your city or district attorney's office, and the Better Business
Bureau. Call these organizations to see if they have information
about the kitchen remodeling contractor you are considering.
Ask how long the company has been in business, and find out
if there are any complaints about the firm or other relevant
file information.
Ask the kitchen remodeling contractor for the address of his
or her business location and business telephone number, and
verify them. A kitchen remodeling contractor who operates a
business out of the back of a pickup truck with a cellular telephone
may be difficult to find to complete a job or fix something
that has gone wrong after the last bill is paid.
Make Sure The Kitchen Remodeling Contractor Has
Workers' Compensation And Liability Insurance Coverage
Ask the kitchen remodeling contractor and verify if the company
is insured against claims covering workers' compensation, property
damage, and personal liability in case of accidents. Ask to
see a copy of the certificate of insurance, or ask for the name
of the kitchen remodeling contractor's insurance carrier and
agency to verify that the kitchen remodeling contractor has
the insurance.
kitchen remodeling contractors must tell you whether or not
they carry general liability insurance and that it will protect
against third-party bodily injury and property damage. If uninsured,
they should be able to explain how they would cover losses that
would ordinarily be covered by insurance.
Bonds
Some bonds are designed to protect you against substandard
work that does not comply with local building codes. Bonds do
not assure the financial or professional integrity or competency
of an addition contractor.
Institutional lenders such as savings and loans, insurance
companies or commercial banks generally require contractors
to secure bonds for large jobs.
