Five Signs Your Contractor Doesn't Have Enough Experience
If you really don't care what your new home will look
like or how your home remodeling projects turn out, don't bother reading
this article.
1. Is your contractor over 18 years old? This would be your first clue
that your contractor might not have enough experience and if your
contractor can only work on the weekends, because they're still going to
high school, this could be your second clue.
2. Does your contractor need to go to the library for home remodeling
information? If you notice that your contractor is gazing through books
on a regular basis, while working at your house, this could be an
additional clue.
3. Is your contractor asking you questions about home remodeling? This
will be okay, if you can actually answer them. However, if neither one
of you know the answers, there could be a problem.
4. Your contractor can't find your house. The contractor has been to
your home, quite a few times, but continues to keep calling you for
directions.
5. The contractor asks you if they can borrow your DVD player to watch
some home remodeling videos. This could be a bigger problem, especially
if the video that they are watching is a step-by-step instructional
video for home remodeling.
Inexperienced contractors can create home remodeling nightmares for
homeowners. It's not a bad idea to ask your contractor a few questions
about the project and if you don't feel comfortable with their answers,
you might want to find someone with a little more experience.
