  • We next prepare a C.A.D (Computer-Aided Design) drawing of your project that we submit to you with an itemized cost breakdown of your project so that you can see exactly what the job will look like and what each area will cost.

Tips for Choosing the right Contractor:

  • Examine permits on file at the building department for jobs similar in scope to yours. Call owners of the house for references and permission to inspect the jobs.
  • Be wary of a contractor with customer complaints on file at the local Better Business Bureau or the consumer protection agency.
  • Find out from the local building department or licensing bureau whether the contractor has a trade license, evidence of having passed a competency test. In some areas, a contractor must post a bond as insurance against bankruptcy or other default on work.
  • Ask the contractor for proof of workmen’s compensation and liability insurance.
