Tips for hiring a residential building contractor
- Ask for the contractor's license
number and contact the
Michigan DLEG
to verify the
builder is currently licensed
and to find out if they have a disciplinary history
- Ask the contractor how long and where they have been in
business
- Ask for references and check with former
customers to see if they were satisfied with the work
- Ask for a local phone number where the contractor
can be reached during normal business hours
Avoid
contractors that:
- ask you to sign an estimate or authorization
before you have decided to actually hire them
- require full payment before work begins
- refuse to provide you with a written estimate or
contract
- refuse to provide you with a
license number
- refuse to provide you with references
- show up at your door unsolicited
- use high-pressure sales tactics.
Before you
sign a contract, make sure it includes:
- a detailed summary of the work to be done
- a description of materials
- the total contract price or how the price will be
calculated
- estimated completion schedule
