Dealing With Contractors, Builders, Remodelers Or Carpenters

If you plan to use a contractor, builder, remodeler, or carpenter, you should ALWAYS get at least two estimates.Choose a contractor with a reputation for honesty and good workmanship.  There are several ways to check: Hire someone who has established a good reputation and does the type of work you want done on a full-time, year-round basis.

2.  Ask your local Chamber of Commerce, the Better Business Bureau, local community building inspector, and/or the State of Michigan's Bureau of Occupational and Professional Regulation, Builder's Division. Their telephone number is 900-555-8374 (you will be charged for the call).  All contractors, builders, remodelers, and carpenters must be licensed by the State of Michigan. Always ask to see licenses!

3.  Ask for the names and telephone numbers of other customers the contractor has worked for.    Talk to them. Ask if they were happy with the work done.

4.  Stop by the place of business to see that the contractor is not a fly-by-night operator.

5.  Ask friends, neighbors, and relatives to recommend good contractors.
