Depending on the size and complexity of your project,
you may choose to work with a number of different
professionals:
General Contractors with a contractors license manage all
aspects of your project, including hiring and supervising
subcontractors, getting building permits, and scheduling
inspections. They also work with architects and designers.
Speciality Contractors with a contractors license install
particular products, such as cabinets and bathroom
fixtures.
Architects design homes, additions, and major
renovations. If your project includes structural changes,
you may want to hire an architect who specializes in
home remodeling.
Designers have expertise in specific areas of the home,
such as kitchens and baths.
Design/Build Contractors provide one-stop service. They
see your project through from start to finish. Some firms
have architects on staff; others use certified designers.

Hiring a Contractor
Interview each contractor you’re considering. Here are some
questions to ask.
How long have you been in business? Look for a well-
established company and check it out with consumer
protection officials. They can tell you if there are unresolved
consumer complaints on file. One caveat: No record of
complaints against a particular contractor doesn’t necessarily
mean no previous consumer problems. It may be that
problems exist, but have not yet been reported, or that the
contractor is doing business under several different names.
Are you licensed and registered with the state? While most
states license electrical and plumbing contractors, only 36
states have some type of licensing and registration statutes
affecting contractors, remodelers, and/or specialty
contractors. The licensing can range from simple registration
to a detailed qualification process. Also, the licensing
requirements in one locality may be different from the
requirements in the rest of the state. Check with your local
building department or consumer protection agency to find
out about licensing requirements in your area. If your state
has licensing laws, ask to see the contractor’s license. Make
sure it’s current.
How many projects like mine have you completed in the last
year? Ask for a list. This will help you determine how familiar
the contractor is with your type of project.
Will my project require a permit? Most states and localities
require permits for building projects, even for simple jobs like
decks. A competent contractor will get all the necessary
permits before starting work on your project. Be suspicious if
the contractor asks you to get the permit(s). It could mean that
the contractor is not licensed or registered, as required by
your state or locality.
May I have a list of references? The contractor should be able
to give you the names, addresses, and phone numbers of at
least three clients who have projects similar to yours. Ask
each how long ago the project was completed and if you can
see it. Also, tell the contractor that you’d like to visit jobs in
progress.
Will you be using subcontractors on this project? If yes, ask
to meet them, and make sure they have current insurance
coverage and licenses, if required. Also ask them if they were
paid on time by this contractor. A "mechanic’s lien" could be
placed on your home if your contractor fails to pay the
subcontractors and suppliers on your project. That means
the subcontractors and suppliers could go to court to force
you to sell your home to satisfy their unpaid bills from your
project. Protect yourself by asking the contractor, and every
subcontractor and supplier, for a lien release or lien waiver.
What types of insurance do you carry? Contractors should
have personal liability, worker’s compensation, and property
damage coverage. Ask for copies of insurance certificates,
and make sure they’re current. Avoid doing business with
contractors who don’t carry the appropriate insurance.
Otherwise, you’ll be held liable for any injuries and damages
that occur during the project.
