Looking to Hire a Denver Contractor? Be Very Cautious!

Spring is in the air in Denver, Colorado! Well, sort of, if you can forget the March snowstorm that hit last weekend!

The coming of spring often means that new home improvement projects are budding. If you are looking to hire a Denver contractor to help with your project, it is important to be very cautious about whom you employ. While most contractors are very ethical, there are some who do not necessarily have your best interest at heart. Here are a few tips for hiring a reliable contractor in the Denver metro area:

• Always seek recommendations from trusted sources.
• Utilize referral sites like Service Magic (based in Golden) and Handyman Connection. These sites provide a piece of mind. Service Magic prescreens its contractors and Handyman Connection will even guarantee the service for up to a year.
• Ask the contractor to provide a written detailed bid on company letterhead that includes an estimated slated start and completion date.
• Always check the contractor out with the Denver Better Business Bureau.
• Make copies of the contractor’s third-party liability and worker’s compensation insurance.
• Interview multiple contractors (at least three) and don’t hesitate to contact their references.
