If you have recently purchased Ponte Vedra real estate, or if you are in the market to do so, you may also be in the market for a contractor. Home improvement projects can be necessary when you first purchase a property to make upgrades and improvements to your liking. This can include kitchen and bathroom remodeling, painting, or many other projects. Many Ponte Vedra homes for sale are move-in ready, but if this is not the case, here are a few tips to choose a contractor for your home improvement project.

Tip # 1 – Ask your neighbors.

Often your neighbors have made upgrades or improvements to their homes and have used the services of a contractor. You may be able to get a referral to a great home contractor that will get the job done right for a fair price. Alternatively, you may hear horror stories so that you know which particular contractors to steer clear of.

Tip # 2 – Check online reviews.

Websites such as www.Yelp.com and www.CitySearch.com are great places to find reviews about local businesses.

Tip # 3 – Request a written estimate in person.

Do not let a contractor give you pricing over the phone. Have the company come to your home and give you a written estimate. It is okay at this point to mention that you are shopping around for a contractor which may result in a bid with a lower price for services.

Tip # 4 – Check with the Better Business Bureau.

The Better Business Bureau is a great place to find out more about the company you are thinking of hiring. The Better Business Bureau will alert you to any complaints against the company along with the outcome or resolution. It is a good practice to hire only companies and contractors who are members of the Better Business Bureau.
