Tips for Finding A Construction Company You Can
Trust
2

• Whatever your construction needs, its crucial
  that you find a company whom you can trust, and
  who you can be sure will complete the project
  with professionalism and skill. While this may be
  a difficult thing to guarantee, you can at least
  keep a few factors in mind when choosing a
  construction company, that should help to give
  you more peace of mind
• Are they licensed and insured?
• Aside from the fact that many US states require
  for a commercial construction contractor to be
  licensed, it pays to look for this in a company
  anyway, as it suggests that theyre professional
  and take their business seriously.

• Any good commercial construction company worth
  their salt will have an insurance policy and
  bond, too, and you should always check this
  before hiring. You can usually check their
  license online or at your states construction
  licensing department.
• Are you able to communicate well with them?
• Its vital for the success of any construction
  project, that you can converse regularly and
  freely with the contractor, and you should try to
  establish your preferred methods of communication
  before the project even begins. If you find that
  theyre unwilling to engage with you, or take a
  long time to respond to your queries, then it
  might be an indication that they are not the
  right company for you.

4

• Does the bid contain everything it should?
• Once the contractor has looked over the details
  of the project, they should provide you with a
  bid, typically including a plan and price
  estimate. But if the bid appears not to contain
  everything that it should, be sure to confirm it
  with them before going any further. If theyre
  not willing to reconsider or reevaluate their
  bid, youre not obliged to take things any
  further with them, and can search elsewhere for a
  contractor.

5

• Do you feel comfortable around the contractor?
• While you dont need to best friends, or go out
  for dinner together, you do need to be able to
  talk to each other comfortably and feel as if
  each party respects the other. If theyre
  anything less than amicable, responsive,
  energetic and committed to their work, you should
  consider continuing your search.
• Is the contractor experienced and skilled?
• Both are usually prerequisites for a successful
  contractor, and you should review their skills,
  qualifications and experience before you even
  consider hiring them.

6

• Can you check their past client references?
• If a contractor isnt forthcoming when asked to
  provide references, then this should be a red
  flag for you. If they do provide you with them,
  be sure to talk to each reference and let them
  tell you honestly how their experience was with
  them.
• Finding a construction contractor that you think
  will give you the results youre looking for
  isnt always easy, and you should try to begin
  your search well in advance of the project start
  date, to ensure that you have enough time to
  complete a thorough, detailed search.
