Hiring the wrong contractor can turn a dream project into a nightmare. Here are some red flags to watch for when interviewing remodelers:
Be wary of contractors who won't provide references or who only work in cash. Avoid anyone who pressures you to pay a large deposit upfront or who refuses to provide a detailed written contract. If they can't explain what they're doing or why, that's a problem. And if they don't carry insurance or licenses, walk away immediately.
Certified NARI remodelers follow ethical standards and business practices designed to protect you. They carry insurance, provide references, work from detailed contracts, and maintain transparent communication throughout the project. When you hire a member of NARI Atlanta, you're hiring someone vetted by an industry organization that upholds professional standards.
