Here are some essential questions to ask before hiring a general contractor for your home renovation.

1. What experience do you have with this type of renovation?

It's important to make sure the contractor has experience with the specific type of renovation you're looking for. For example, if you're planning to add a new room to your home, you'll want to make sure the contractor has experience with room additions.

2. Can you provide references?

A reputable contractor should be able to provide references from previous clients. Reach out to those references to learn more about the contractor's work ethic, communication, and the quality of their work.

3. Are you licensed and insured?

Ask to see the contractor's license and proof of insurance. This will protect you from any liability in case of an accident on the job site.

4. What is your timeline for the project?

It's important to establish a timeline for the project before it begins. Ask the contractor for an estimated timeline and make sure it works with your schedule.

5. How do you handle unexpected issues or changes?

Renovations can come with unexpected issues or changes. Ask the contractor how they handle these situations and if they have a plan in place to address them.

6. What is your payment schedule?

Before starting the project, make sure you understand the payment schedule. Typically, contractors will require a deposit upfront and then payments throughout the project.

7. Who will be working on the project?

It's important to know who will be working on your renovation project. Ask the contractor if they have a dedicated team or if they'll be using subcontractors.

8. How do you communicate with clients?

Communication is key during any home renovation project. Ask the contractor how they communicate with clients and how often they'll provide updates on the project.

9. Do you provide a warranty or guarantee on your work?

A reputable contractor will stand behind their work and offer a warranty or guarantee. Ask about any warranties or guarantees they offer.

10. Can you provide a detailed estimate?

Before hiring a contractor, it's important to get a detailed estimate of the project. This should include the cost of materials, labor, and any other expenses.


By asking the right questions, you can rest assured that you're hiring a reputable and experienced general contractor for your home renovation project. Taking the time to do your research, asking for references and a detailed estimate, and understanding the contractor's communication style and payment schedule are all critical factors in choosing the right contractor.
