Getting an Estimate on your Projects

Unless you have worked with a contractor previously, and have trust in that company, it is wise to get quotations from at least 3 contractors, to make sure that you are not paying too much (or too little!) for your project.

Note:
I currently work on a time and material basis and do not quote projects!
If you have a larger project, I would suggest that you do get a firm quote!

Considerations

• Is the company stable? (having been in business for some time)
• Is the company licensed in your area?
• Is the company insured?
• Make sure your all your quotes are based on exactly the same specifications.
• Compare the terms of the quotations.
• Will the company be available to start and complete your project according to your schedule?
• Will the company provide references?
• Make sure you sign a contract that will protect both parties to the agreement.
