Hire a contractor?

Make sure you're protected.

Know your rights

A contractor is legally obligated to provide the service for which he or she was hired for and must be compensated for any additional work done outside of the contract.

Homeowner's checklist

- Verify credentials of the contractor: check if they have a license, check if they are registered with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), verify their insurance status, ask for references and make sure they have a business address.

- Get it in writing: know what is included in the project (i.e. list of materials) and what is not included, who is responsible for paying any costs that may arise outside of the project (i.e., taxes).

- Discuss payment options: identify if any money must be paid in advance and when the final payment will be due.

- Know your timeline: get agreement on start date, end date, and completion date for project - as well as agreed upon milestones to measure progress along with completion date for final payment due before project is finished.
