After all, you’ll likely be spending a lot of time problem-solving together! Here’s how to make sure you’ve found who you need:
Getting Started
First, always start with personal recommendations! There are many scammers in the contracting world, and sticking with a known Lago Vista general contractor is your safest bet to start. Only look up unknown folks if you don’t have many familiar options.
Once you have a good list, start calling! This is your chance to feel out their communication style, VERY important for someone you’ll be working with long-term. Are they forthcoming with information? Do they prefer to call, text, or email? Will they be available for questions, or even for the job, to the degree you’re looking for? Additionally, you want to ask about their relevant experience to your project.
Picking a Short List
Next, we narrow down. Based on the information you’ve gathered, whittle down that list to the top three or four, and set in-person meetings with each. In these meetings, you’ll have the opportunity to follow up on that relevant experience you asked about before, and see pictures of their handiwork. At the very least, you can get references and past clients’ information to check up on afterwards. If you’re ready with a building plan, you can start getting bids here too!
Choosing a Lago Vista General Contractor
Call the references and past clients, check their website and social accounts, make sure that they are getting good reviews! If everything checks out, you get to choose from here who suits your needs best.
Figure out a payment schedule together. Try to avoid a large cash payment up front, this can be a huge red flag. However, if they’ve made it this far, a scam is unlikely.
