Selecting a contractor is an important decision. You should give this selection the same consideration as you give to your home improvement choices. There are a few guidelines to keep in mind:

Consider the contractor's reputation for supplying and installing quality products. Ask for references.

Be sure to get a written warranty on the materials and the workmanship.

Look at some examples of the contractor's work. Ask to see pictures of work the contractor has done,
     similar to the style of home improvement you are considering.

Make sure the contractor is fully insured and licensed as required by law.

Ask up front if you will be treated as a partner in the project. Be sure to work with someone who
     understands exactly what you want.
