Must-Ask Questions When Working With a Detroit Contractor

Our team here at Sunburst is a lot of things: Detroit shutter installers, interior fashion experts, and more. But basically, you could just call us Detroit contractors.

There’s no shortage of contractors in Detroit, and it may be hard to pick the right one. Whether you’re planning a kitchen remodel, new flooring, or new window treatments – doing business with the right team is crucial. Below are some questions to ask the next time you’re looking for a Detroit contractor for your upcoming project.

Ask About Their Credentials

Regardless of the size of your next project, you need to be able to trust your contractor completely. Build that trust by checking out their credentials. Ask to see proof of any certifications and insurance – any contractor worth the money will be happy to do so.

Also take the time to check their reputation. Find out what other customers have said about the contractor from some of these sources:

• HomeAdvisor

• Angie’s List

• Houzz

• Facebook

• Google Business

• Better Business Bureau

• Yelp

Be careful not to make the mistake of implicitly trusting online reviews. They’re just one part of the puzzle that you can research when choosing a contractor.

Ask Questions About Your Specific Project

No one knows your house better than you, so don’t hesitate to ask any questions you have about your project with your potential home service provider. Are you concerned about how the new flooring you want might not work with your subfloor, or thinking about if your new wood shutters are a better idea than wood blinds?

Remember to speak up and get the answers that are pertinent to your home!

Ask About Install Day

Depending on the size of your project, install can be a long, exhausting process, or it could be a snap. For any size project, it’s important to get the details for installation day. Here are a few to get you started.

• About how long will the whole install take?

• How many installers will be coming in and out of my house?

• Do I need to cover any furniture or anything else in the house?

• How likely is there to be any fumes or dust during or after the installation?

• How noisy will the installation be?

• Will I have to arrange for kids or pets to be out of the house during the installation?

Find Out Your Payment Plans

You don’t always have to wait and save for months to schedule your home improvement project. Most Detroit contractors and home service providers will let you finance the work.
