General Contractor vs Subcontractor
Before I dive into hiring your contractor, there’s another option to consider.
Picking Your Contractor
Okay. You’ve done some preliminary research, and you think you’ve got a good contractor that you might like to hire. At this point, you still shouldn’t just hire the contractor because you’ve done a bit of research!
Interview Process
First, you’re going to do a basic interview with them. I recommend asking for a resume, or basically a portfolio of examples of some work they’ve done, how many projects do they do per year, and how long it usually takes them. Some contractors won’t be willing to do this…so don’t go with them. There are plenty of contractors out there.
Conclusion
Whew! That’s a lot…but it’s essential in my opinion. The better you do this step, the more likely you are to make a profit! And then hopefully you can find someone who you can trust and can bring multiple deals to.
