Kitchen & Bath Remodeling Help

Remodeling Help from NARI

You've finally decided to do it. You're going to tackle that remodeling project you've wanted to do for years.

That decision probably brings a million questions. One of your biggest will be who to hire to tackle what may seem like an overwhelming project. First, do some research to narrow your options, then narrow your options to two or three, and interview possible candidates for the job.

The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) provides helpful bits of information to inquire about in the interview, before you sign a remodeling contract:

• How long has the company been in business?
• What is his/her approach to a project like yours?
• How many projects has the contractor completed similar to yours?
• Who will be working on your project - employees or subcontractors?
• Whether or not he/she is a member of a national trade association
• If either the remodeler or employees have been certified in remodeling or had any additional special training.
• Does the company carry workers compensation and liability insurance?
• Ask for a list of references

This will help you get started. For more helpful information on remodeling, visit the National Association of the Remodeling Industry at www.nari.com.
