Remodel Contractor Research Checklist
Use this list to evaluate your options and feel confident before signing a contract.
Research & Reputation ☐ Check online reviews on Google, Houzz, and social media ☐ Look for before-and-after photos of completed projects
☐ Ask for references from recent customers ☐ Confirm the company is licensed and insured
Communication & Fit ☐ Schedule a phone consult or in-home consultation ☐ Note how quickly and clearly they respond ☐ Ask how they handle changes, delays, or unexpected issues ☐ Make sure they listen to your goals and concerns Scope & Process ☐ Request a detailed, fixed-price estimate—not just a rough number ☐ Ask who will manage the project day to day ☐ Understand their timeline, including lead times and trade scheduling ☐ Clarify how design, permits, and inspections are handled Transparency & Trust ☐ Ask how they handle budgets—and what happens if things change ☐ Ensure they provide a fixed-scope proposal with clear deliverables ☐ Learn how they communicate during the project (email, calls, software?) ☐ Confirm they offer warranties or post-project support
Bonus Tip: If you feel uneasy at any point, trust your instincts. The right remodeler will make you feel informed, respected, and excited—not overwhelmed.
