Top 9 Useful Tips To Choose the best General
Contractor!

• Choosing the right contractor for your project
  can be a difficult process, but here are some
  tips that can help you to find the best General
  Contractor in Boca Raton, Florida.
• Study About Your Project
• Educate yourself about the project and make a
  list of things that you would be required from a
  general contractor. The more you know about the
  details of your project, the more you will know
  the right questions to ask, and the better you
  will be at making the right decision.
• Get Referrals From Your Friends And Family
• Check with your friends and family if someone has
  a great experience with any general contractor in
  your area. A referral contractor will always
  work better for you.
• Interview Multiple Contractors
• This is important step in order to choose the
  right contractor for your project. You can ask
  your questions to multiple general contractors
  in your areas and collect written bids from each
  contractor. You can learn a lot about the
  contractor during this process, and will gain
  more insight into your project.
• Check Their Previous Completed Projects
• Certified and licensed general contractors will
  never hesitate to share their references with
  you. They can easily share details of current
  clients, subcontractors, major suppliers, and
  employees. You can also ask for a tour of a
  project that is currently under construction and
  of completed projects that may be similar to
  yours.
• Perform a Background Check
• Contractors and many subcontractors should be
  licensed, although licensing requirements vary by
  state. Verify licenses for the contractor and
  major subcontractors. For this, you can check the
  better business bureau(BBB), court records, and
  an internet search to uncover any potential
  issues.
• Choose a Contractor Who Best Fits To Your
  Specific Requirements

• A contractor may have multiple specialties, but
  make sure your type of project is one of their
  strong suits. Check who routinely does the type
  of work that you need performed.
• Check for The Communication And Response Time
• Good communication skills and quick response are
  most important aspects for any project. Choose a
  contractor that you are comfortable with. Clarity
  is essential for success. Most problems arise
  when the contractor assumes that you understand
  an issue the same way that they do. It is
  imperative to be on the same page as your
  builder.
• Review Agreements Carefully
• It's important to check contract documents
  carefully. Agreements should cover every aspect
  of the project. Confirm that they include Plans
  and specifications with a clear scope of work,
  specific materials to be used, start and
  completion dates, change order procedures,
  insurance coverages, a payment schedule, and the
  mechanic lien release process.
• Verify Insurance Coverage
• It's one of the most important things to verify
  that contractor has general liability and
  workers' compensation insurance coverage so that
  you will not be liable for any damage or injury
  that occurs while the contractor and his
  employees are working on your property
• The Bottom Line
• The right contractor can make the difference
  between a successful project and a disaster. If
  you are planning to start a construction project
  at some point in the near future, above 9 steps
  can help you to choose the right contractor for
  your construction project.
