What To Look For In An Atlanta Remodeling Contractor

1. Promptness
You finally called a remodeling contractor and set an appointment. He cancelled your first meeting and now he’s running late for your second. Yes, a contractor’s day is busy, but so is yours. Is this the way the entire job will go? Promptness does count, as does a courtesy call.

2. Professional presentation
You have invited a remodeling consultant into your home. Does he give a presentation designed around your needs and wants, as well as background information about his company? Remember, remodeling your home is a business and the contractor should be as prepared as any other professional. A great presentation establishes the professional nature of the remodeling consultant, his company and his product.

3. Knowledge
With a professional presentation comes knowledge in construction. Your remodeling consultant should be very knowledgeable in the art of remodeling. Measurements, imaginative ideas and product selections, combined with your input, sets the tone for a win-win remodeling project.

4. Trustworthiness
Honesty and trust are of the utmost importance in any situation, much less one where the person is moving freely about your home. Make sure that you have a high level of trust with your contractor and trust your instincts if you don't.

5. Membership in NARI or NAHB
The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) are the industry standards for professionalism in the remodeling industry. In order to become a member, the contractor’s background and references are investigated. Both organizations offer industry designations such as Certified Graduate Remodelor™(CGR) and Certified Remodeler™. If a contractor possesses either one of these designations, the chances are that you’re dealing with a reputable professional.

6. A high percentage of their business comes from repeat clients
or referrals
The ultimate compliment to a remodeler is repeat and referral clients. This means that they not only do great work, they maintain high levels of service and professionalism.

7. A good contractor will protect your Atlanta home
Construction can be dusty and dirty. If not properly controlled, dust can get everywhere. Make sure that your contractor has the appropriate measures to control dust and protect your property.

8. Does the contractor have an office?
Does the contractor have a physical address? 24 hour emergency service? Office staff? Showroom? A contractor who has an office, staff and showroom isn’t going anywhere and will be there to handle anything that comes up.
