How do I find a trusted contractor for my renovation?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

Ask for recommendations from friends, neighbors, and your real estate agent. Check the contractor's license, insurance, and references. Get at least three written bids. Read reviews on Google and Angi. Do not pay the full amount upfront. Use the HomeCircle Trusted Partners directory for vetted local professionals.

Why It Matters

A bad contractor can turn a dream renovation into a nightmare. Taking the time to find the right professional is the most important step of any project.
