What To Ask Your Portland Remodeling Contractor

By Lonnie Trevarthen


There are several professional contractors in Portland. To find the Portland Remodeling Contractor that is right for you, first define exactly what your needs are. Their services range from remodeling commercial buildings to updating residential kitchens. Match your contractor to your remodel needs.

If you want to remodel a bathroom or kitchen consider a professional who focuses in these areas. One website has a checklist for these common types of remodels. First, the home owner evaluates how the kitchen is used. Next there is a long list of yes or no questions regarding the appliances, counter top, storage, and more to help define your needs and priorities. Finally, a list of guidelines from the contractor provides recommendations from their years of experience.

By clearly defining their expectations home owners are able grasp the scope of the project. An accurate scope will help in defining a realistic budget. The smart consumer will interview three different contractors. The home owner will have a close working relationship with the contracting professional for the life of the project. It makes sense that the owner and the professional need to communicate effectively.

If you have a large project, it will take longer and have a bigger budget. Remodel of an entire house can take months, and there will workers in your house every day. It is smart to find a place to live while your home in undergoing remodel. Check references from former clients. You want to make sure the contractor has a good history of keeping his or her promises.

There are contractors who offer a vast array of services. For example, you may need a professional for fire and smoke restoration. Maybe you want to add on to an existing structure. Find out if the company you are interviewing has experience in these areas.

Do your research and talk to friends who have gone through this process. Do not make impulsive decisions, make thoughtful decisions. You want to be a satisfied customer.
