Hiring the right contractor is one of the most important decisions you’ll make during a home improvement or repair project, according to the Better Business Bureau. (Having the right homeowners insurance can give you peace of mind, too.) Whether you’re looking for someone to do a small repair, or adding an addition to your home, it’s important to make sure you’ve hired someone you can trust to do the job.
We’ve pulled together some tips to consider when you’re getting ready to hire for your next home improvement project.
Once you’ve selected a contractor, ask for proper documentation as you move closer to signing off on the job.
Most contractors are trustworthy and are in this line of work for the right reasons. However, some scammers pose as contractors and don’t actually have your best interests in mind. Here are some signs that should make you think twice.
Finally, let your Erie Insurance agent know when you’re planning a home improvement project and when it’s completed. If your project adds value to your home, you’ll also want to make sure your homeowners insurance policy is updated to reflect the right amount of coverage.
