Ask for a contractor recommendation

You’ve decided it’s time to move ahead with your long-planned renovation project. Now, you’re shopping for a professional contractor who will make it all happen.

Chances are you’ll ask family, friends or neighbours if they know of a good contractor they would recommend. But there is one question you should ask any time someone mentions a contractor they have worked with before: “If you were doing another renovation project, would you hire the same contractor again, or would you look for someone else?”

If the person making the recommendation tells you they’d never hire anyone else, consider adding this contractor to your list of prospects. Anything less than this type of solid endorsement should be a signal for caution.
