"From start to finish, APX Home Improvement was exceptional. I have contracted to renovate several properties and APX is number one. Alex was very detailed as we reviewed what the project entailed. He made constructive recommendations that transformed the condominium from a 1970s property to a 2020 property. The finished product was amazing. The cost was competitive and the work was completed in a timely manner. I could not have been more satisfied. I highly recommend APX Home Improvements. ."

"I wish every contractor I hired were 1/2 as good, if not more. They are truly professionals in workmanship and customer services. I went through several vendors before I found KS, I'm happy the other vendors didn't workout because I wouldn't have found Kitchen Savers."

"Two Projects - recessed lights with ceiling painting and door installed in the hallway. Edward was excellent to set up and communicate with; he returned to complete the job to perfection. I added a 3rd task to fix a broken doorbell, which he did on the spot at a reasonable price. I will use him for future work and highly recommend him."

"Helped me convert a tiny full bath to a half-bath/laundry room. Custom door hanging, and custom dry wall to make sure that the unit could squeeze in and fit. Perfect fit with less than an inch of clearance available."

"I had a portion of my deck that seemed rotted and needed to be replaced, so hired them to come and fix that part, but it was pretty obvious that all of the boards were in bad shape and it was much more cost-effective to just redo the whole thing. So they were able to quickly adjust the project, get the needed materials, replace all the boards, as well as strengthen the railing, and paint and stain it, and now I have a very comfortable deck to enjoy!"

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.
