Finding A Good Garage Builder
It's not real common, to run into someone who just builds
garages. It's more common to run into a contractor, who builds new homes
or remodels old ones, but finding a good garage builder, could be a
little more difficult, than you might have ever imagined.
If no one around you is building garages, there's a good chance that
you're not going to be the visiting very many completed garages, to look
at, as a reference from your building contractors.
Start asking around at work, your place of worship and may be even ask
some of your family members, to see you they have a recommendation for a
good garage builder. Garage building isn't rocket science, and most
people who build new homes, or remodel old ones, can probably build you
a nice garage.
What I don't recommend, is using any of the online services to find a
garage building contractor. Some of these companies charge a hefty fee
to their contractors and these fees, believe it or not are fees that you
as the homeowner will need to pay eventually.
Some of these online contractor referral companies charge as much as 10%
or $1000 per job. If you're building a garage for $12,000, and you
contact one of these online referral services, there's a good chance
that you might be paying an extra thousand dollars, to the referral
service company.
I know, the contractor pays these fees, and not you. Don't be fooled, in
order for the contractor to stay in business, he needs to get this money
from you or other homeowners.
Usually asking around, will give you a pretty good clue, but isn't going
to guarantee you the best contractor. Make sure that you ask the
contractor plenty of questions and feel comfortable using their
services, before actually hiring.
