Any customer seeking to have home improvements performed by a professional has to ask a few key questions and to verify the answers.He or she should ensure that the contractor is licensed, bonded, and insured. This information should be readily available on the contractor's Web site, business card, or even on their service vehicle.Inquiring about experience is also very important. Customers have to make sure the contractor isn't trying to take on a project out of his range.Just like people, contractors come in a wide variety, and it is important to match the contractor's skill set with the prospective client's envisioned home improvement project.
