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.
