Remodeling Misconception #3 If a person claims to have many years of experience, they must do quality work.

The following is an excerpt from our FREE Report: Six “Secrets” To The Perfect Custom Remodel Of Your Home (To Request your copy of the full report please visit our website http://www.almarbuilding.com/)

I can't tell you how many people receive bad workmanship from contractors who've claimed to be in business for 15, 20, 25 years. Take experience claims with a grain of salt. Don't believe just because a person has twenty years experience, he will do a good job. He could have done a poor job for twenty years. Investigate further to make sure you're dealing with a qualified professional.

Ask for the following Items: (or better yet you should be given these items without asking. These items come standard in all Almar information packets)

1. Reference List
2. Testimonials
3. Copies of their Workman’s Compensation & General Liability Certificates (for the current year)
4. Current Copies of their Home Improvement Contractors License
5. Current Copies of their Construction Supervisors License
6. Current Copies of their EPA EER Certificate (required if your house was built before 1978)
7. Current Copies of their Lead Safe Renovator Certificate
8. Other certificates of Merit or Elite Contractor Status from Manufacturers.

So besure you do a little research and realize that you need to compare apple to apples when talking to contractors. If someone is giving a significantly lower pricer you need to know why.
