"This is the second project that Delaware Construction Services has done for us. Such a great company to work with. Quality work and great communication. Would definitely use them again."

"We started with A.W. Viohl gutting and replacing 2 upstairs baths summer 2018 and continued with 1st floor remodel staring in Feb.2019. We will continue upstairs, deck, new roof and eventually basement remodel. As a designer, I have found my contractors for my jobs whose work was skilled enough for the first floor renos to be featured in a local magazine. Andrew and his crew are fantastic to work with; this home reno is turning out to be longer that expected but Andrew keeps everyone in place to get the job done. Very pleased with dealing with this company and would 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.

Second job need is to have contractor build a fireplace wall with an access cabinet and then install a slim linear fireplace, with mantle and mounted tv (we will buy fireplace, tv, mount and mantle - but need contractor to pick up locally and bring to home/job site). Would prefer to have someone with experience building a fireplace wall and installing linear fireplaces but will also appreciate a contractor who knows they could do it and has some similar experience, Job cannot start until March 15 but would like to have time once a contractor is secured to work on selecting materials and ordering materials needed so that come March 15 the work can begin! Will need contractor to pick up materials locally and bring to home job site. Please do not text. I prefer voicemail or email thank you very much!
