What to ask a general contractor

Before the work begins, it’s important to meet with potential contractors. It’ll give you a chance to chat about your project and get a feel for each of them as a person. If you find that you get along better with one general contractor versus another, trust that gut feeling – it’s a good sign! That said, we still suggest asking them at least some of the following questions to better understand what kind of work you’ll be getting into.
