Q&A: Questions to Ask a Kitchen Remodeling Contractor

Are you navigating the remodeling process in 2019? If so, then the most important choice you’ll make surrounding your project is who you hire. The contractor, remodeler, or design-builder you work with sets the tone for the entire process. But how do you know how to find the right person for you?

After all, each client’s home has a specific style, needs, and challenges. You need the person who can rise to the occasion, someone whose expertise, skills, and experience match your project. Ready for some pointers? Read on below for our list of questions for any potential remodeler during the interview process!

  1. How long have you been in business?
  2. What is your educational & experience background?
  3. Do you have a professional designer to help with space planning and selection? If yes, does your designer stay involved during the construction process?
  4. What insurance do you carry?
  5. What professional associations do you belong to?
  6. Where do you bank and who is your contact person?
  7. Do you use the same trade subcontractors consistently or receive bids for the lowest price?
  8. Will you provide a written timetable for project construction?
  9. Do you provide lien waivers (a document that shows each trade has been paid so they cannot file a lien against your home)?
