First, research the contractors in your area to determine which ones are reputable. You can do this through reviews, observing their past work and seeking referrals from family and friends.2 Next, contact the contractors and ask for quotes for the job. Make sure you provide as much information as possible about the job.3 Ask the contractors for references from previous clients and follow up with those references. This gives you a better understanding of the contractor's quality of work and customer service.4 Once you have gathered all of the information, compare the quotes and references to narrow down your selection.5 Finally, select the most reputable contractor and make sure to have a written and signed contract in place. Request a copy of the contractor's insurance policy as well.
