Questions To Ask When Hiring a Baltimore Contractor

Our team here at Sunburst is many things: Baltimore shutter installers, home design experts, and more. But when it comes down to it, you could just call us Baltimore contractors.

There’s no shortage of contractors in Baltimore, and it can be hard to choose the best one for you. Whether you’re looking for an entire kitchen remodel, new flooring, or new window treatments – doing business with the right team is essential. Below are some questions to ask the next time you hire a Baltimore contractor for your home improvement project.

Ask About Their Credentials

No matter how big or small the job is, you need to be able to put your trust in your contractor 100%. Build that trust by checking out their credentials. Ask to see proof of their contracting license and insurance – any contractor worth the money will be happy to do so.

Also check out their reputation. Find out what other customers have said about their services from some of these sources:

• HomeAdvisor

• Angie’s List

• Houzz

• Facebook

• Google Business

• Better Business Bureau

• Yelp

Be careful not to make the mistake of implicitly trusting online reviews. Reviews are just one part of the puzzle that you can research when choosing a contractor.

Ask Questions About Your Specific Project

No one knows your house better than you, so don’t be afraid to voice any questions or concerns you have about the job with any potential home service provider. Are you concerned about how the new tile you want might not work with your subfloor, or wondering if your new wood shutters are a better idea than wood blinds?

Be sure to speak up and ask the questions that are important to your project!

Get the Details on Install Day

Depending on the scale of your project, installation day can be a long, exhausting process, or it could be a snap. Either way, you should get the details for installation day. These are a few to get you started.

• About how long will the whole project take?

• How many installers might be coming in and out of my house?

• Will I need to cover any furniture or anything else in the house?

• Will there be any fumes or dust during or after the installation?

• How noisy will the installation be?

• Will I need to remove children or pets from the house during the installation?

Find Out Your Payment Plans

You don’t always have to wait and save for months to schedule your home improvement project. Most Baltimore contractors and home service providers can let you pay in installments.
