"Pleasure to work with. Price was easily cheapest. Endlessly impressed w/ knowledge & attention to detail. Scheduled appointments (at no cost) to see available stock at hardware stores. Picked up all materials at no cost. Finished job early & on budget despite running into unforeseeable challenges (eg. cheap plastic pipes burst, but they bought and installed new plumbing for no additional charge. Also, after accidentally stripping off finish from wood floor, refinished it at no cost). Rare professional dedicated to ensuring a good experience & high quality, at low cost"

Architectural Designer
"Sandy was extremely helpful and did a wonderful job for us twice! When we bid out the original design, it was over our budget (no fault of hers). She worked with us to revamp the plans to conform to our budget. She only reduced the construction cost, she methodically retained the original plan elements that were most important to us. She is a treasure."

"From start to finish - design to the last detail - out bathroom remodel was handled with care. Oscar was great! He met us at various tile shops to help with the material selections and kept in contact throughout the remodel. Jaime was also very professional and his attention to every detail is evident in the final product. We love our new master bath!"

"I hired Design Home Improvement back in October to repair the drywall in my ceiling. I received a great quote and Robert arrived to fix my ceiling the very next day. He was was very courteous and skilled, finishing the project within 4 hours. He checked in with me as he was getting ready to wrap up and asked me to take a careful look to make sure that everything looked great. I felt bad asking him to smooth out one tiny area, but he assured me that it was no problem, and he took his time to make sure that it was perfect before wrapping up for the day. Robert did such an excellent job that you can't even tell that my ceiling had been repaired. I am extremely satisfied with the service, and highly recommend Design Home Improvements and Robert for any of your drywall needs."

Frequently asked questions
- It’s important that you verify their license is still in good standing. Also keep in mind that certain states or provinces don’t require licensing if the job is under a certain dollar amount.
- You can find a list of your state’s licensing requirements on the HomeAdvisor website. Before you get to work with the pro, make sure their qualifications are current and acceptable to you.
- It is always a good idea to get a copy of the pro’s insurance certificate for future records, and in case anything happens. This is a good way to feel more secure in your home project, and to weed out potential scammers.
HomeAdvisor makes it easy to connect with pros near you. You can read reviews, get quotes and book appointments all in one place.
Depending on the type of project, you may find subtle differences in the hiring process. Here’s a look at task-specific advice.
You can use HomeAdvisor to help evaluate a contractor’s qualifications. We put pros through a screening process, and award badges to high-performing contractors. You can find these badges on a pro’s HomeAdvisor profile, and sometimes, his or her website.
Your research doesn’t stop here. Once you’ve found a few prospective companies, make an call to ask a few questions about work history, licensure and more:
- Have you completed a job like this before?
- Do you have a list of references I can contact?
- When are you able to start the job?
In most cases, the responses you get to these three questions will give you a very good idea of the right pro for your project. If you have more than one front-runner, these additional questions can help you narrow it down.
- How many years of experience do you have?
- What’s your permanent business address?
- Are you licensed to work in my area?
- When did you earn your business license?
- How do you handle warranty service complaints?
- Do you have worker’s compensation, property damage and personal liability insurance?
Any good contractor will answer these questions, and most will appreciate dealing with a client that takes such an active interest in finding good service. On the other hand, if a contractor gives you a hard time with these questions, you probably want to find someone else.
