Must-Ask Questions When Working With a New Jersey Contractor

Here at Sunburst we’re a lot of things: New Jersey shutter installers, interior fashion experts, and more. But basically, you can just call us New Jersey contractors.

There are tons of contractors in New Jersey, and it may be difficult to pick the right one. Whether you’re looking for an entire kitchen remodel, new floors, or new window treatments – doing business with the right team is crucial. Here are a few questions to ask the next time you hire a New Jersey contractor for your home improvement project.

Ask About Their Credentials

No matter the scale of your project, you should be able to trust your contractor completely. Build that trust by checking out their credentials. Ask to see proof of any certifications and certificate of insurance – any home service provider worth the money will be happy to do so.

Also check out their reputation. See what past customers have said about their services from multiple sources:

• HomeAdvisor

• Angie’s List

• Houzz

• Facebook

• Google Business

• Better Business Bureau

• Yelp

Be careful not to make the mistake of implicitly trusting online reviews. They’re just one thing to consider when choosing a contractor.

Ask Questions Specific To Your Home

No contractor knows your house better than you, so don’t be afraid to ask any questions you have about the job with any potential home service provider. Are you worried about how the new tile you want might not work with your subfloor, or thinking about if your new wood shutters are a better idea than wood blinds?

Don’t hesitate to speak up and ask the questions that are pertinent to you!

Ask About Installation Day

Depending on the size of your project, installation day can be a long, exhausting process, or it could be a snap. No matter what, it’s important to ask about the details for installation day. Here are a few to get you started.

• Roughly how long will the installation take?

• How many installers will be coming in and out of my house?

• Do I need to cover any furniture or make any other preparations?

• How likely is there to be any dust or fumes during or after the installation?

• How noisy will the installation be?

• Will I have to arrange for kids or pets to be out of the house during the installation?

Find Out Your Payment Options

You might not have to wait a long time to schedule your project in order to save up. Lots of New Jersey contractors and home service providers offer payment options or financing assistance.
