Before we recommend a Louisville Remodeling contractor to our homeowners, we have several key qualifications that we look for. These homeowners come to us for help because they know we stand behind our contractors. They trust us to recommend the best and we take that responsibility very seriously.

We ask to see at least three references and we contact those references to find out how your final price compared to your estimate, how many changes were made to the project once the job started, was the quality and service up to their expectations, did any problems arise during the job and were they handled satisfactorily. We also as them if the project had a scheduled start and finish date and how close you came to those dates.

We take a look at your standard contract to see if it’s all inclusive, does it list what’s included and what is not included, how you plan to handle disputes and what type of payment schedule you prefer to work with. We check to make sure that you have the proper licensing for you and your employees, and that you also carry the proper insurance to protect yourself, your employees and the homeowner and his property.
