"I don’t usually write long reviews, but the experience I had with Angie and the entire team at Creations Construction & Remodeling absolutely deserves one. From the very first phone call, Angie made me feel like my project was a priority, not just another job on their schedule. Her communication, professionalism, and attention to detail are truly on another level. I hired Creations for a full remodeling project in my home, and Angie was the project coordinator who guided me through every phase. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, helped me refine the design, and explained every step clearly so I knew exactly what to expect. What impressed me the most was how patient she was—she never rushed me, even when I changed my mind a couple of times on materials and layout. Instead, she gave me honest advice, real-world examples, and even shared photos from previous projects to help me visualize the final outcome. Throughout the remodel, Angie checked in constantly, sent up"

"We have worked with Eran on two projects now: installation of new fireplace and re-do of existing all and a full remodel of our master bath. Both projects ended being exactly what we wanted and were completed in the timeframe he expected. For the master bath remodel we tore down the entire space and installed everything new - steam shower, toilets, bathtub, new cabinets, sinks, floors, etc. He is an excellent communicator and handled the whole project as if it was his own house, with the ultimate care. He was also sweet enough to surprise my kids with sweet treats multiple times - he is a super nice guy. USE HIM! He is amazing!"

"Jim is a great guy to work with!!! He was very understanding and responsive to all my questions and concerns. He oversaw the entire operation of removing a wall to open up the living area. This encompassed general demo and construction, electrical, resurfacing, matching texture and repainting. Followed by some special hardwood floor detail work. His team of workers are always excellent and considerate of us and our home. You will not be disappointed! It is very difficult to try and choose a contractor and I feel lucky to have found him!!"

"We recently hired Pen and Mason to expand our pantry, build a custom coffee bar, install new electrical outlets, and replace the carpet on our stairs with beautiful vinyl plank flooring — and we could not be happier with the results! From start to finish, their team was professional, friendly, and attentive to detail. They took the time to understand our vision, offered helpful suggestions, and executed the work flawlessly. The pantry expansion is so functional, the coffee bar is my new favorite spot in the house, and the new flooring completely transformed our stairs. They also handled the electrical work seamlessly, ensuring everything was up to code and perfectly placed and they also put up with my picky husband in the process."

"We are extremely happy with the high quality job completed by 1-Stop Contractors especially in their very competitive price. We have to say it was one of the best experiences we had on dealing with the contractors. They have maintained the timeline and budget precisely as promised and even extend their work to ensure our satisfaction. Kevin was honest and excellent communicator and successfully clarified all the details of the work in their contract and executed as he committed. We highly recommend 1-Stop Contractors among all other painters and contractors and we are sure we will be asking for next project to them again."

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.
