What to Know
What to Watch Out for Before Choosing a Home Remodeler
Pricing Games
Beware of remodeling companies offering “Today Only” prices. They will agree to this price any day after the sales pitch.
And on the same token, watch out for companies that keep knocking money off of their quote. They priced it high to begin with, and they want you to feel like you’re getting a good deal.

Lack of Insurance
Whether you know this or not: you are responsible for an employee getting hurt on your property, if the company they work for doesn’t have insurance. And beware, small contractors aren’t required to have workers’ compensation insurance.
In order to protect yourself – make sure the contractor you go with has workers’ compensation and liability insurance.
Shortcuts
The reason people take shortcuts is simple – it saves them time and money.
Common Shortcuts Include:
- Cheap nails
- Improper sealing
- The use of inferior building products
