Looking to get your home remodeled, but don\u2019t know how to go about it? Remodeling expert Pasqualino Spadorcia suggests you ask contractors these vital questions.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Getting your home remodeled could add value to your house should you decide to sell it. Remodeling can also add a lot of comfort and convenience for your family. Yet if you\u2019re not careful, the remodeling project could turn into a big headache, and you could waste a lot of money too. Fortunately, Pasqualino Spadorcia<\/a> believes that by asking the right questions now you can avoid a lot of headaches later.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cOne great question to start with is to ask if they\u2019ve handled a similar project in the past,\u201d home contractor Pasqualino Spadorcia<\/a> says. \u201cAsk for pictures too. Remodeling a kitchen is quite a bit different than remodeling a bathroom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, past performance can\u2019t guarantee future results. That said, a long track record may suggest that the contractors are reliable. You should take some time to look for online reviews as well to see if past customers have anything to say.<\/p>\n

You also need to make sure that the remodeling company has any relevant licensing, and that it is bonded and insured. Requirements vary from state to state, so you\u2019ll want to research the requirements in your area. General liability insurance is typically needed to project against worksite injuries and the like.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also wise to ask for references, including past clients. Talking with a past client can help set expectations and shows that you, the homeowner, are going to be attentive.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s smart to ask contractors how many repeat customers they have,\u201d Pasqualino Spadorcia<\/a> says. \u201cVerifying information can be hard, of course, but you may find some things online, or from talking with past customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also want to talk about employees, including who will be on site, and whether they will be using any subcontractors. If subcontractors are used, you\u2019ll want to make sure that they meet the same high standards, including being licensed and insured, as your primary contractor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI sometimes use contractors for specific things,\u201d Pasqualino Spadorcia<\/a> says. \u201cUsing contractors can allow you to tap into specialized skills. But you need to make sure they are all up to standard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pasqualino Spadorcia<\/strong><\/a> Talks About Supplies and Materials<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Besides labor, material costs can be quite high during the remodeling process. If the contractor will be supplying any materials, say cabinets, flooring, or whatever else, make sure you discuss these costs upfront. You\u2019ll want to compare their prices with market prices. While a small markup may be fine, if the contractors are far above market rates, that\u2019s a concern.<\/p>\n

\u201cI often help clients select cabinetry, flooring, and the like,\u201d Pasqualino Spadorcia<\/a> notes, \u201cbut I am always transparent with prices, and I also encourage them to shop around. They often find that I can offer more affordable rates owing to my relationships with many suppliers.\u201d<\/p>\n
