Preparing to Sell My Campbell Home- How Do I Find a Good Contractor?

Finding a good contractor can make your home-improvement project for your Campbell Home successful and less stressful.

Here are some tips to help you find a good contractor:

  • GET RECOMMENDATIONS and REFERENCES.  Aks your friends, family and co-workers who have had similar work done in the past.
  • GET AT LEAST 2-3 WRITTEN ESTIMATES.
  • MAKE SURE THE CONTRACTOR IS LICENSED.  Here is the link to confirm the contractor for your Campbell Home is licensed:  https://www2.cslb.ca.gov/OnlineServices/CheckLicenseII/CheckLicense.aspx
  • CHECK YOUR LOCAL BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU for complaint records.  Here is the link to the the local BBB: http://sanjose.bbb.org/Home.aspx
  • MAKE SURE THE CONTRACTOR IS INSURED.  He should have personal liability, property damage and worker's compensation insurance for workers and subcontractors.  It would not hurt to also check with your insurance company to find out if you are covered for any injury or damage that could occur.
  • DON'T MAKE A FINAL PAYMENT OR SIGN A FINAL RELEASE UNTIL YOU ARE SATISFIED WITH THE WORK and know that the subcontractors and suppliers have been paid.

great tips, I'm finding out that the tip about making sure the subcontractors are paid is very important so as not to  put the owner in jeopardy of having a lien put on their home.

Sophia:  Thank you!  Yes, a lot of times people forget about the subcontractors and that could be trouble for the homeowner.
