7 Questions to Ask Before You Hire a Contractor

Don’t Hire a Contractor Until You Ask These 7 Questions

Before you hand over thousands of dollars and the keys to your home—you better know who you’re dealing with.

Here are 7 questions that separate the pros from the posers:

1. Are you licensed and insured?

If they say no—run. You’re liable if anything goes wrong.

2. Do you offer written estimates and contracts?

Verbal agreements don’t hold up. Good contractors document everything.

3. Can I see photos of past projects?

Real work. Real results. Not stock photos.

4. What’s your timeline and process?

If their plan is vague, so will your results be.

5. Who will be on-site?

Are they subbing it out to randos? Or is it an in-house crew you can trust?

6. What happens if there’s a problem?

Accountability matters. Do they have a guarantee? A follow-up process?

7. Can I talk to a past client?

A real contractor has real clients who’ll vouch for them.
