Hiring a home contractor: What to ask

For many, summertime involves house projects that have been put off during the winter. If you’re planning to hire a contractor for a few projects, ask questions about these items when interviewing:

1. Budget: Ask how they plan to be transparent and upfront about costs from start to finish.

2. Dust & ventilation: Ask how they control and clean up. You’ll be able to set better expectations on what is best for your family’s health.

3. Supplies: Ask for a list of materials that will be used. This ensures that non-toxic paint and quality materials are being used for projects.
