"Bill was not only responsive and professional, he worked around my crazy schedule which had him coming to my place on Sunday and at night. He is a hard worker and completely honest and trustworthy. I had him remove rotted stairs from the side of my house and rebuild with a little extra room. It was a necessary project but after completed, it was so beautiful that I now enjoy being at the back of my house. In five years of ownership, I never once wanted to be in my backyard. I not only highly recommend him but will definitely have them out for more projects"

"Dave and helper were very respectable the whole time they worked on our very old and not level barn. They never seemed frustrated. We've had other workers here cursing and throwing things :). Price was very reasonable. Above all, the work they did was beautiful! I felt they went above and beyond in this project. I love my barn now!!"

"Courtney remodeled my kitchen, helped figure out what walls to remove and expand! I am not someone who can design something without seeing it in person! I gave Courtney full control to do what she wanted and she killed it! She was always available to answer questions, she would run changes by me, had her team on the same page at all times! They project was done on time and I would highly recommend Courtney for any remodel!"

"Neat, clean, professional and timely. A well run family business with a bunch of real nice people. The price was equal to competitors but the service and finished product is outstanding. I love our new Quartz counter tops and so does my wife. I made the right choice to go with them. Life is good. Thanks Wentzel family! Bob and MaryAnn (Gigi and Buddy also)"

"Dean was very prompt and professional for all of our meetings. He took detailed notes for the painters who would be doing this job as it was a somewhat customized paint job (specific rooms and features). He also gave some free advice on other home improvement options for us as we found out that his company can do almost any type of home improvements! We received friendly reminders of any upcoming meetings, possible changes to start and finnish dates for the job, and a free color consultation that was also very helful. The painters worked at a steady pace and quiet as mice. We hardly knew they were there!"

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.
