Factors to Consider When Choosing a Bathroom Remodeling Contractor
Before you sign a contract with a bathroom remodeler, you'll want to ensure they're reliable. We recommend following these steps as you get estimates.
Industry Credentials
Ask each company about the number of years it's been in business and how many projects it's completed. You should also find out what trade group memberships the team has. The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) is just one organization offering certificates and continuing education programs for remodeling professionals.
Licensure and Insurance
Bathroom remodelers in Florida must be certified or licensed with the state's Department of Business and Professional Regulation. While licensed companies have leeway to perform a variety of different tasks, they must subcontract mechanical, plumbing, and electrical work to other contractors.
Photos
Next, ask the bathroom company for a portfolio. Some contractors carry physical copies, while others design a running webpage detailing their past projects. Thoroughly evaluate each photo to assess the crew's workmanship. You might even uncover some design ideas for your own bathroom renovation.
Consultation and Estimate
You'll ultimately hire a remodeler based on comprehensive estimates. While some contractors offer online estimates, little compares to an in-person consultation. This way, you can meet the crew, discuss your goals, and get the necessary measurements taken. To maximize your value, we suggest getting at least three different quotes and comparing them side by side to find the best deal.
Customer Reviews
Before you hire a bathroom remodel, check its online reputation using sites like Trustpilot, Google, and the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website. While reading about customers' positive and negative experiences, look for how a company responds to complaints. It's a green flag if the team continually seeks out an amicable and satisfactory resolution.
