Things to Know Before Hiring a Contractor: Get Multiple Bids
As we covered in an earlier post in this space: do your homework before hiring a contractor.
Start with getting multiple bids for your project. It will set the bar for your expectations as you move toward making a decision and getting the work done.
As you solicit bids from contractors, note these guidelines:
- Be fair and give the same information to all of them. It makes it easier to compare pricing.
- Know what it is you are asking for–be clear on what it is you want built, mowed, installed or painted.
- Understand the whole of the project and have a rough idea of what you can afford.
We’ll go into more detail on the next steps in future posts.
