When choosing a contractor on PageLeap, verify their license and insurance, check their portfolio of completed projects, read customer reviews, and get detailed written estimates. Look for contractors with experience in projects similar to yours, ask about their timeline, and request references from past clients.

Permit requirements vary by location and project type. Common projects requiring permits include structural changes, electrical work, plumbing modifications, HVAC installation, room additions, fence installation over certain heights, and major renovations.

When comparing construction bids, ensure each contains the same scope of work, materials specifications, timeline, payment schedule, and warranty information. Look beyond the bottom-line price to identify quality differences, contractor experience, and project management details.

To handle contractor disputes: first, refer to your written contract and communicate concerns directly; document all issues with photos and descriptions; propose solutions with reasonable timeframes; consider mediation; as a last resort, consult an attorney or file a contractor board complaint.

Estimate costs by breaking down materials, labor, permits, inspections, and contingency funds. Request multiple quotes, factor in design fees, and account for unexpected expenses. PageLeap contractors can help with cost analysis based on similar past projects.
