How to select the Best Kitchen Remodeling Contractor
It is overwhelming to try and find a trustworthy remodeler who does excellent work.
If you find yourself excited about the idea of your dream kitchen, but unsure how to choose a Remodeling contractor, this article is for you.
This handy guide is designed to take the stress out of your search for home remodeling contractors. These 7 tips will help guide your search for the perfect kitchen.
1. Before you start your hunt, prepare a plan
Before you start to search for a contractor you will need to have a rough idea of what your dream home should look like. Start with cabinets, countertops, floors, and cabinets. Make a sketch of the style, colors as well as materials, and layout that appeals to you. What level of cooking you'll be doing and how much meal prep. It doesn't matter if you entertain or are raising a household.
This information will be helpful to contractors that you contact in order to help them determine if you are a good match to move on to the consulting/estimating phase.
2. Ask your family, friends, and co-workers to refer you
Your best bet for finding a contractor is to contact your friends and family before looking online. A trustworthy home remodeler will leave a great impression on each project he does. He will be referred to others. Local contractor referrals can be found by talking to family, friends, and co-workers as well as neighbors and church members.
3. Do Online Research of Referrals Received
In addition to the referrals you get through your network, you can also do an internet search for "best remodeling companies near me." The search will return many search results from reliable review sites such as Birds Eye (Facebook, Google Biz, and Yelp).
Review all contractors and look for the top-rated ones in your area. Look at the responses of contractors to negative feedback. This will provide you with an indication of their communication and problem-solving skills.
4. Research Industry Related websites for Home Remodeling Contractors
Local contractors can be found on industry-related websites. Houston Kitchen Renovators can be found on all three sites. You will also find great reviews left by our happy remodeling customers.
5. BBB Ratings & References. Check Certifications & Insurance.
You can narrow your search down to a few contractors by asking for their registered company name, certifications, insurances, or bonding documents. Make sure that they are knowledgeable about the requirements for remodeling homes in your region and state. To confirm they're in good standing, contact the Better Business Bureau. Houston Kitchen Renovators offers all the insurance, certifications, bonding, and bonding needed to remodel homes in Houston or the surrounding areas.
6. Get a Free In-Home Consultation
Once you have found a contractor or two that is trustworthy and has received great reviews, contact them to arrange an in-home consultation. If you are interested in having a trustworthy remodeling company provide free consultations, they will most likely offer them. These consultations include the contractor visiting the home of the client to view the kitchen and discussing your ideas.

7. Request an initial quote and time frame
Once you have concluded your consultation, you should get a first quote and timeline from any contractor. This will help you understand the scope of work and what it will cost. Ask for an outline and order of project phases. How much of a retainer will be required upfront, and how many installments will be due during the project or at the final payment?
