"Alex was really great to work with. I needed someone to gut part of my bathroom and install a new bathroom vanity, toilet, cabinets, and some shelving. He was communicative and professional and was also able to complete the project in a timely fashion. He was able to come up with some creative adjustments to create the most storage in my small bathroom. I would happily hire him again in the future for other projects."

"The design drawings were perfect. The service was superb. Plus the whole process was fun which is not something I expect from a redesign of my kitchen. I can't recommend Osprey Design highly enough."

"Rob Ryder with DryLock Systems repaired gaping cracks in my foundation, installed functional drains in my basement floor, and reconfigured my sump pump after I'd had a huge flood in my basement. The cause of the flood was not at all what I had imagined, and Rob did an excellent job thoroughly and clearly explaining why my drainage systems were failing & what needed to be changed. He has a lifetime of experience as a professional home builder, and works with his sons--the opposite of a giant faceless business. I feel very confident in the work he did on my house & am happy to know that I can always contact him if I have questions or problems."

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.
