Before hiring a plumber for my bathroom renovation I set up a simple call to ask about their process timelines and references That short conversation told me more than any online review I learned how they communicated what materials they preferred and how flexible they were with schedules
Trade talks are not only about cost They reveal professionalism reliability and whether expectations align It may take time to interview multiple trades but the peace of mind is worth it
Final thought: A strong project starts with the right people Do you speak to multiple trades before signing a contract
