Remember: you don’t need to hire the first contractor you meet. Your home improvement deserves an experienced hand, and finding the right contractor might require you to shop around a bit. We recommend spending time researching beforehand. So consider the type of contractor you need, then ask a few different contractors for bids.
You’ll be working closely with your contractor for the duration of your remodel—make sure you pair up with a team you can comfortably communicate with about your project needs so you can enjoy a stress-free renovation.
