Choosing a remodeling contractor is an important part of planning a kitchen, bathroom or full-home renovation. Before comparing prices, make sure each proposal addresses the same work, responsibilities and selections. Use these ten questions to prepare for a project in Broward, Miami-Dade or Palm Beach County.
1. Who will be responsible for your project?
Confirm the company named in the proposal, the person managing the work and your main contact. Review applicable license information and request current insurance documentation.
2. Does the team have relevant experience?
Ask to see completed work similar to your planned renovation. A kitchen, condominium interior and home addition involve different coordination needs. Discuss the details that matter for your property.
3. What exactly is included?
Request a written scope covering demolition, preparation, installation and finishing. Identify exclusions and existing conditions that cannot be confirmed until work begins.
4. Who supplies each material and fixture?
Clarify responsibility for cabinets, countertops, tile, appliances, plumbing fixtures and lighting. Record selections and delivery responsibilities before they affect the construction schedule.
5. How will you compare proposals?
Compare scope, quantities, materials and responsibilities alongside price. A lower total may reflect fewer included items. Ask for clarification where a description is incomplete.
6. How will plans and approvals be coordinated?
Discuss responsibility for design documents, permit coordination, inspections and any association requirements. Have the proposal identify which services and fees are included for your specific property.
7. What milestones guide the schedule?
Request an estimated sequence of work and discuss dependencies such as selections, deliveries and inspections. Agree how the team will communicate changes to the expected schedule.
8. How are changes documented?
Discuss how additional work or revised selections will be priced and approved. Written change orders should explain the agreed work and its effect on price and timing.
9. How will the home and communication be managed?
Ask about access, protection of adjacent areas, debris removal and whether you can remain in the home. Set expectations for progress updates and decisions that need your response.
10. What happens at completion?
Review the payment milestones, final walkthrough, remaining-item process and written warranty terms. Keep the proposal, approved changes and selection records together throughout the project.
