Someone once hired a contractor simply because “he seemed nice.” No references. No contract. No clear schedule. It ended with unfinished work and awkward conversations.

A few quick calls to past clients could have prevented everything.

Good contractors welcome questions, show previous projects, and put agreements in writing. That doesn’t make the process perfect but it makes it predictable.

Conclusion: Trust your instincts, but confirm the details. The right contractor is a partner, not a gamble.
