How to Shop for Home Improvements
by Domenic Cortese

  1. Where to find a general contractor:
    Home remodeling can be as involved as building a new home; however, it shouldn't need to be a hassle.  A good general contractor will make the process a painless one.  Ask family and friends as well as neighbors which general contracting service they have used in the past. Use the phone book as a reference for phone numbers, addresses and any company history.

  2. Get a written estimate:
    General contractors should always provide detailed estimates that are written out containing the work that will be performed with the price. Be sure to determine if the price is guaranteed or not. Also, ask for a list of work items that are not included in the scope.

  3. Check the General Contractor's references:
    Ask for and check references of similar projects and be certain that the general contractor you are hiring is an expert in the area of work you seek to complete.
