Before you hire a contractor for your reno, it’s important to get everything clear before you sign anything. Asking the right questions can save you trouble later.

  1. What’s Included in the Price?

Know what the price includes, like materials, work, permits, and cleanup. This helps avoid unexpected costs.

  1. What’s the Timeline?

Ask how long the work will take and when they’ll begin. Plans can change, but get a realistic schedule in writing.

  1. Who Deals With Permits?

Know who handles permits to avoid legal issues.

  1. How Do I Pay?

Don’t pay everything at the start. Pay a deposit first, then payments as the work gets done.

  1. What If There’s a Problem?

Ask about guarantees and how they’ll fix mistakes. A good contractor will put this in writing.

Make sure you’re happy with the answers before signing. A good contract protects you and the contractor and helps make your reno successful.
