Picking the right contractor is key to a good renovation. Most pros are good, but watch out for these signs: 🚫 1. No License or Insurance If they can’t show you proof of license or insurance, that’s a huge risk. You’re on the hook if things go wrong. 🚫 2. Cash Only Good contractors take cards or checks. Cash-only can mean trouble later. 🚫 3. No Contract Get everything in writing: work, costs, and dates. No contract? No deal. 🚫 4. Super Low Bids Too good to be true prices often mean they’ll cut corners or add hidden fees. 🚫 5. Bad Communication If they don’t call back or seem disorganized, it’ll likely happen during the job, too. 🚫 6. Pressure to Decide Good pros give you time. Feeling pushed to sign? That’s a bad sign. ✅ In short The best contractor will be open, insured, and a good communicator. If you see red flags, find someone you trust. Renovations are too big to mess around with. ---
