The good contractors out there far outnumber the bad ones — but when each homeowner approaches the good ones with suspicion, what can we do? It becomes up to the good contractors to win over their homeowners and show them why they are worthy of working on their homes. Good contractors get this — and will insist on outlining everything clearly in a contract, and keeping record of the payment. A good contractor will do exactly what they say they’re going to do. A good contractor always explains the “why.”Finally, good contractors go the extra mile to ensure that you’re keeping your job site clean and tidy.
