ConstructionDeal.com Update

Whether you need to have a screen door fixed or you're adding a 2nd story to your home, you should always do your homework.

This means you should check references - whenever you're hiring a service professional or a company to come into your house, take your money, and perform work. Don't be shy and don't be lazy. The correct term is due diligence.

Get names and phone numbers (any contractor should be proud of any past work and happy to give the information) and call them.

Ask -- at least -- These Four Questions:

1) Did the Contractor stay on schedule and follow the terms of your contract?

2) Did the Contractor listen to your concerns, respond to problems, and seem concerned about resolving the issues?

3) Were you pleased with the work and were you pleased with how it got done? (okay, so it's two questions... sue me.)

4) Did the Contractor make all the necessary corrections to any problems?
