Am I staying in this home 2 years or 20?

Ask your contractor

Are you fully insured? Can I see proof?

Can I see references and recent project photos?

Who will actually be on site each day?

What is the written timeline, and what triggers delays?

How are changes and surprises handled and priced?

What warranty do you stand behind, and for how long?
