"Nate and Kolyn worked great together. Everything went so smoothly. I had several projects and all were completed to my satisfaction and Iâ m hard to please. Both were so nice plus my dog loved them. I would definitely recommend Home Reimagined LLC."

"We hired them to tear down the tiny existing bathroom to the studs and expanded it into some bedroom closet space in our 1924 home. Rick clearly explained the entire process, timeline and costs. They brought samples to our home during a very professional bid presentation that blew away the other companies we met with. Every subcontractor was professional there was little to no mess or inconvenience to us. Project manager Zach was great at communication via text. All workers tolerated our dog being home so we were grateful not to have to relocate her during work days. Final results looked great and high end -despite our budget choice to use man-made materials for flooring and backsplash. I Loved that they spoke to both our neighbors to let them know to contact them if any issues with construction traffic. Project ended ahead of schedule and exactly on the budget they promised - except we did have to pay a one-time additional cost due to unexpected plumbing issue - but it is a very old house and if we d hired a plumber ourselves I m sure that hiccup would have cost a lot more/ you never know what to expect before the walls come down. If you have an old house and have been dreaming of knocking out a wall to expand and update your kitchen or bath I highly recommend them."

"They helped me install a window I had. They did it quickly and didn't make a huge mess. Helped me out after doing a prior project on the same day. It was nice to get two things done in one day. Thanks!!!!"

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Matt on a home improvement project and we couldn't be happier with the results. His attention to detail is impeccable— from the framing to the wider steps and even the rounded corners, every aspect was handled with care. Matt completed the work promptly and communication throughout the process was perfect. Thanks Matt."

"Colton from Smith Remodel and Construction was amazing! Leading out to our sun room, we had an old slider door that we wanted to replace with new glass french doors and Colton did an outstanding job! Our older home created some challenges due to the custom sized door opening, but Colton went above and beyond to make it look great! He even took the time to create a custom threshold that transitioned the floor from tile to carpet! They cleaned up the site very well once the job was done and even vacuumed out our garage which he used as a work area. I would HIGHLY recommend Smith Remodel and Construction! We could not be happier with how it turned out! Thank y ou!"

Frequently asked questions
- It’s important that you verify their license is still in good standing. Also keep in mind that certain states or provinces don’t require licensing if the job is under a certain dollar amount.
- You can find a list of your state’s licensing requirements on the HomeAdvisor website. Before you get to work with the pro, make sure their qualifications are current and acceptable to you.
- It is always a good idea to get a copy of the pro’s insurance certificate for future records, and in case anything happens. This is a good way to feel more secure in your home project, and to weed out potential scammers.
HomeAdvisor makes it easy to connect with pros near you. You can read reviews, get quotes and book appointments all in one place.
Depending on the type of project, you may find subtle differences in the hiring process. Here’s a look at task-specific advice.
You can use HomeAdvisor to help evaluate a contractor’s qualifications. We put pros through a screening process, and award badges to high-performing contractors. You can find these badges on a pro’s HomeAdvisor profile, and sometimes, his or her website.
Your research doesn’t stop here. Once you’ve found a few prospective companies, make an call to ask a few questions about work history, licensure and more:
- Have you completed a job like this before?
- Do you have a list of references I can contact?
- When are you able to start the job?
In most cases, the responses you get to these three questions will give you a very good idea of the right pro for your project. If you have more than one front-runner, these additional questions can help you narrow it down.
- How many years of experience do you have?
- What’s your permanent business address?
- Are you licensed to work in my area?
- When did you earn your business license?
- How do you handle warranty service complaints?
- Do you have worker’s compensation, property damage and personal liability insurance?
Any good contractor will answer these questions, and most will appreciate dealing with a client that takes such an active interest in finding good service. On the other hand, if a contractor gives you a hard time with these questions, you probably want to find someone else.
