"They helped me install a window I had. They did it quickly and didn't make a huge mess. Helped me out after doing a prior project on the same day. It was nice to get two things done in one day. Thanks!!!!"

"Luis and Raul are great to work with. Iâ ve hired them for multiple large projects. They are talented and provide quality work at a fair price. I will continue to use their services. In the construction business it can be difficult to find contractors you can trust. They are men of their word and want to make sure their clients are happy and satisfied with their work."

"Colton from Smith Remodel and Construction was amazing! Leading out to our sun room, we had an old slider door that we wanted to replace with new glass french doors and Colton did an outstanding job! Our older home created some challenges due to the custom sized door opening, but Colton went above and beyond to make it look great! He even took the time to create a custom threshold that transitioned the floor from tile to carpet! They cleaned up the site very well once the job was done and even vacuumed out our garage which he used as a work area. I would HIGHLY recommend Smith Remodel and Construction! We could not be happier with how it turned out! Thank y ou!"

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Matt on a home improvement project and we couldn't be happier with the results. His attention to detail is impeccable— from the framing to the wider steps and even the rounded corners, every aspect was handled with care. Matt completed the work promptly and communication throughout the process was perfect. Thanks Matt."

"Working with Timberbrook has been a great experience. They have been working on a 650+ square foot two story addition and renovation to my 1910 home. As with any work on a home that age and a project that size it hasn't been without its surprises. Timberbrook communicates changes and progress in a timely manner. The quality of their build is top notch. I've had friends in the construction industry stop by and comment on the foundation and frame work, then again on the finished work. They did a great job ensuring the exterior matched the 100+ year old aesthetic of the house. The co-owner and designer has helped us put together vision boards and 3-d mock ups of the spaces so we could make design decision. The lead builder, Tyler, has been open to feedback and minor changes to plans and finishes along the way. I would highly recommend Timberbrook for just about anything. Before going with Timberbrook we had one other company, very reputable, that we got a quote from -Timberbrook was a MUCH better (lower) estimate and we've stayed well within their bid. Their subs (they don't use many) are really great too. Magic Electric with Angus -highly recommend."

Frequently asked questions
- It’s important that you verify their license is still in good standing. Also keep in mind that certain states or provinces don’t require licensing if the job is under a certain dollar amount.
- You can find a list of your state’s licensing requirements on the HomeAdvisor website. Before you get to work with the pro, make sure their qualifications are current and acceptable to you.
- It is always a good idea to get a copy of the pro’s insurance certificate for future records, and in case anything happens. This is a good way to feel more secure in your home project, and to weed out potential scammers.
HomeAdvisor makes it easy to connect with pros near you. You can read reviews, get quotes and book appointments all in one place.
Depending on the type of project, you may find subtle differences in the hiring process. Here’s a look at task-specific advice.
You can use HomeAdvisor to help evaluate a contractor’s qualifications. We put pros through a screening process, and award badges to high-performing contractors. You can find these badges on a pro’s HomeAdvisor profile, and sometimes, his or her website.
Your research doesn’t stop here. Once you’ve found a few prospective companies, make an call to ask a few questions about work history, licensure and more:
- Have you completed a job like this before?
- Do you have a list of references I can contact?
- When are you able to start the job?
In most cases, the responses you get to these three questions will give you a very good idea of the right pro for your project. If you have more than one front-runner, these additional questions can help you narrow it down.
- How many years of experience do you have?
- What’s your permanent business address?
- Are you licensed to work in my area?
- When did you earn your business license?
- How do you handle warranty service complaints?
- Do you have worker’s compensation, property damage and personal liability insurance?
Any good contractor will answer these questions, and most will appreciate dealing with a client that takes such an active interest in finding good service. On the other hand, if a contractor gives you a hard time with these questions, you probably want to find someone else.
