10 questions for the construction crew before renovation

You should not unknowingly trust employees who have posted their offers on Avito and similar services. The Internet is replete with stories of how builders turn out to be scammers and deceive customers.

Therefore, when choosing a team, it is necessary to rely on the experience of people who have already completed the repair and were satisfied with the result. They can be reliable acquaintances, relatives and friends who can recommend builders.

At the same time, it is important that you also like the finished project - it is best to go and evaluate the repair with your own eyes. In the absence of such acquaintances and the presence of social networks, you can find a construction team on your own, but before that, contact the customers and ask them about the hired workers.

Browsing internet services

When looking for contractors, you should turn to trusted services that only select builders. On such sites there is a well-thought-out rating system, and only reviews verified by the administration are published in the profiles. Remember that reliable services do not charge for the selection of builders. Fears should be caused by sites with ill-conceived structure and the same reviews: behind a beautiful design, a one-day company may be hiding.

Compare prices

A preliminary search for the brigade on the Internet will allow you to navigate the cost of services. Too low a price should alert, and there may be several reasons for such generosity:

• The Master is a beginner and earns a reputation at the initial stage.
• Some services are not included in the price (garbage collection, cleaning, etc.).
• The builder lives nearby and it is beneficial for him to receive your order.
• The person is a cheater.

Good craftsmen value themselves and their work, so an adequate price tag and a queue lined up to the repair team are two reliable signs that speak in its favor.

Checking contractors

Opinion about employees should be made up of several factors. The first impression a person makes during correspondence or telephone conversation, the second - during a personal meeting. Already at this stage, you can distinguish a professional from an amateur. A neat appearance plays an important role, but even more important is the dialogue that the master builds with the customer. The specialist will tell you about himself, offer several options for performing work, answer all questions.

It is important that a potential contractor has a portfolio and documents confirming his qualifications, as well as a car and all the necessary tools.

We estimate the scope of work

At the first inspection of the object, a competent representative of the brigade is obliged to provide the customer with a price list. If the master evades the answers about the prices, this should be alarming. But persistent assurances about clear deadlines and quick indication of the full cost of the work do not guarantee the reliability of the brigade: repairs are a complex and multi-tasking process that requires planning.Therefore, a specialist must discuss with the client all the details, take into account his wishes, ask many questions, make calculations, and only then provide an approximate plan with prices and an approximate amount of materials.

We arrange paper

A reliable builder will not be afraid to conclude a contract and prescribe all the details and changes in the course of work. All stages should be recorded in the contract and a detailed estimate should be attached. Payment should be made in stages. In order not to risk the budget, we recommend that you travel to the hardware store with a contractor, pay for the selected materials yourself and keep receipts. The acceptance certificate must be signed only after all defects have been eliminated.

We control the work

The client has every right to visit the repair site and make adjustments. It is convenient when a certain schedule is developed for checking an object. It is also worth asking the workers to send photo reports on the work done - this will allow documenting the process. As for payment, the optimal scheme is when the calculation is made gradually - in accordance with the completed stages of finishing. It is convenient for both parties.

In order not to regret choosing a construction team, it is necessary to approach the process with all responsibility, not to save on good workers and to be attentive to each stage of the repair.
