Biggest Mistakes Consumers Make

According to Consumer Reports - The biggest mistake consumers make is "being seduced by the price alone." Would you hire the cheapest surgeon in town to operate on you or a member of your family? Your home is the biggest investment you will ever make, and you should always think long-term when it comes to doing remodeling and also consider the effects saving a few dollars now will have over 3, 5 or 10 years of living there. "Some contractors use low quotes to win the job, then jack up the price later", says New York Assistant Attorney General Nick Garin.

Your most important tool in evaluating the cost of a project is the value of what you are getting for your money. Low prices are usually a trade off for cutting corners in materials, workmanship or warranty. Remember that most average paint jobs, tile installations or other aspects of the project can look good when completed. The true test is how will they hold up over the next 18 months, 5 years, 10 years? Did the painter use a proper primer or just paint over things ensuring in a year the paint will begin to peel? Did the tile setter install the proper under-layments or just tile over the problem, ensuring the grout will begin cracking next year? These differences are usually the difference between a lower and a higher estimate.

Building The New Remodeling The Old

A Few Things To Ask Your Contractor

Are You Licensed?

What are the risks? Generally, contractors without licenses don't have them for a reason, which is a huge red flag. Licensing requires passing written tests on codes and building practices, experience requirements, and many other aspects that prove you are competent at what you are doing. If somebody isn't licensed, there is probably a really bad reason why not.

Do You Carry General Liability Insurance?

If anything happens to your home while they are working in it, there will be no insurance company to pay for the damages.

Do You Carry Workers Compensation Insurance?

What are the risks? Basically, if anyone gets hurt while working on your home and they aren't covered by having workers comprehensive insurance coverage, you will be responsible by law for their medical treatments, which can be as simple as a few thousand dollars for a minor injury to hundreds of thousands for a major one.

Bottom line - It is always safer to deal with a fully licensed and insured contractor!!
