Get recommendations<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\">There\u2019s no substitute for a good referral. All in all, word-of-mouth is the most reliable way to find a general contractor. You can get a firsthand review of their customer service, professionalism, and workmanship. Additionally, you might be able to see the quality of their past work with your own eyes.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Check_their_references\"><\/span><b>2. Check their references<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\">A good contractor will be able to provide references from prior customers. Ask to have the contact information from the three most recent jobs they&#8217;ve completed. That way, they cannot pick and choose their best jobs or references. You&#8217;ll get a more accurate idea about their work and what it is like to work with them.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Ask_about_their_experience\"><\/span><b>3. Ask about their experience<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\">Although most general contractors have a diverse skill set, it\u2019s not uncommon to specialize in a particular area. This is essential information to have before hiring. A general contractor who focuses on exteriors may not be the best choice for your kitchen renovation.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0To ensure you hire the right person for the job, ask about their past experience and specialties.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Set_up_a_meeting\"><\/span><b>4. Set up a meeting<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\">Your general contractor will be in your home for the duration of your renovation, and there will be a lot of back and forth communication. Therefore, it\u2019s best if you two get along. Meeting in person allows you to gauge this and see what kind of person they are. It\u2019s crucial that you feel comfortable communicating with your contractor\u2014and that they listen.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Get_a_written_estimate\"><\/span><b>5. Get a written estimate<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\">Before making your final hiring decision, ask your general contractor for a written estimate. This estimate should be detailed and transparent. It helps set expectations and explains where your hard-earned money will be going. You can also compare estimates from different contractors. However, remember that lowball offers are never as good as they sound. If one bid is significantly less than the rest, that contractor is likely cutting corners or inexperienced.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Click_To_Find_%3E%3E%3E%3E_General_Contractors_in_Calgary\"><\/span><strong>Click To Find &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renovationfind.com\/ab\/calgary\/general-contractors\">General Contractors in Calgary<\/a>.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.renovationfind.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5119\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.renovationfind.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/970-x-250-Billboard-1-2.jpg\" alt=\"970 x 250 - Billboard\" width=\"970\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/h4>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.renovationfind.com\/ab\/calgary\/flooring\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1315\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.renovationfind.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Large-1-orange-3-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"RenovationFind Certified\" width=\"201\" height=\"63\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><i><b>RenovationFind\u00a0Certified\u00a0<\/b>symbolizes integrity held by only the most trustworthy companies in home improvement, service, and maintenance.
