Don't Wait Until Spring To Hire A Contractor,
Minot Real Estate 101
Often people make the mistake of waiting until spring to hire a contractor to build a garage, re-roof, build a deck, or even build an addition to their home.
If you wait until spring chances are that the contractors you call will already be booked up for most of the building season.
Don't take chances on hiring a builder by waiting until the last minute. Get references from friends and neighbors before hiring a contractor. If you are new to town ask your Realtor or a lender who they recommend for the job. Using the want ads, the yellow pages, or the Internet can all be a gamble. Realtors and lenders work with builders every day, we know who the good ones are.
One more tip, write down what you want, what you expect, and when you expect it. Chances are you can find a contract you can put your wishes in on line and present it to the contractor as a contract.
