Is the grout chipped away from the tiles in your shower? Do you have to wrestle with your sink faucet every morning? It may be time for a bathroom renovation.
Looking to spruce up one of the most used rooms in your home is not only a great way to improve its value, it’ll make living there that more inviting.
There are a number of Kelowna contractors doing bathroom renovations, but how can you make sure you hire someone whom you can trust to do the job on time with care and attention without pushing up costs?
Here’s what to look for when hiring a general contractor for your bathroom renovation:
A number of sites exist where you can read consumer reviews on just about anything.
Many customers can attest to their personal experience with Kelowna contractors and what kind of jobs they have worked on. Getting customers’ comments for contractors is a great way to find out if they are the right fit for your bathroom renovation.
Don’t be shy about asking about some of the past or current home renovations Kelowna contractors have performed. The proof is usually in the pudding, and it’s also a great way to get some ideas for your own renovation.
The Better Business Bureau is a regulating body that helps both consumers and businesses make sure they are protected under strict standards. The BBB offers consumer reports, company accreditation and contact information for registered businesses in BC, including general contractors in Kelowna.
A contractor should be upfront about materials, labour and other costs for your bathroom renovation. Many will provide a free estimate or quote on costs. A general contractor normally requires some kind of down payment, with the full amount due at the end of the job. Make sure all your needs are being covered before accepting a contract that spells out your payment.
