What to look for in a renovation contractor

Whether you need a renovation contractor because your home needs some TLC or you have a storm damage insurance claim, you want the best company doing the work at an affordable price. How do you choose the right company? What should you look for in the contractor?

Licensing, insurance & certifications

It should go without saying that you should never hire any contractor who isn’t insured. Deepening on the work they’re doing, they may need a state license. If you’re getting a roof replacement in Knoxville or new siding in Nashville, your renovation contractor needs a license. In Tennessee, that generally means they have the minimal amount of insurance required by law for that license. However, you should check that their policy is active. Depending on the work you’re having them perform, you may want them certified by the manufacturer. That roof replacement in Knoxville from a GAF Master Elite™ roofer is going to be done in accordance with state and local laws as well as GAF’s stringent requirements which will result in a better roof replacement.

Local presence & a great reputation locally

Just because a company advertises they install new siding in Nashville doesn’t mean they have a local office. It also doesn’t mean they have a great reputation in the community. Any renovation contractor can list any city on their website. However, it’s nearly impossible to get a Better Business Bureau listing without a local office. You certainly won’t see many local reviews on third party sites if they don’t regularly do business in your community.
