Well, it could be challenging… nowadays it is so hard to find people to do work. They are either too busy or too expensive.
Modern Times Homes has been buying and selling Rockford (and surrounding areas) houses for so long, and we came across all kinds of contractors. The ones that did a great job in a timely manner, but cost a leg and an arm; the ones that started a job, but never got to finish it or took too long to finish; the ones that did their job in a timely manner, but did a horrible job. Well you just never know who to choose when you are looking for a contractor.
Before you even hire someone to do updates make sure you make a list of things that need to be done, and have your budget planned ahead.
Few tips Modern Times Homes could give you when you are looking to hire contractor are:
- Ask your friends or family to refer a contractor that they used previously
- When you find few that you consider hiring, ask them to come to your house and give you an estimate, that way you can compare few based on the price
- Once you chose contractor that you want to hire, make sure to have a contract in writing with all the details and pricing
- Whoever you choose, make sure you are involved in the process, ask questions and check progress every now and then.
