2026-06-17 · 6 min read
A renovation's success hinges largely on who you hire. A few right questions prevent most bad experiences.
Questions to ask
- •Do they give a written, itemised contract?
- •References and past-project photos?
- •Workmanship warranty and a firm deadline?
- •Is the payment plan sensible (no big upfront)?
Frequently Asked Questions
- Should I pick the cheapest quote?
- No — an unusually low quote often means hidden costs, cheap materials or unfinished work. Clear scope and warranty matter more.
