"Second City Garage was so easy to work with. Juan and his team were quick to respond, on time and on budget. After the work, Juan walked me through everything that they did so that I was completely comfortable and informed. I would definitely recommend Second City Garage Door Repair to anybody in need of garage door service. Great Job!!!"

"We could not have asked for a better contractor! The work done is total perfection, every detail is perfect, we could not be happier with our remodel WOW!! Everyone we dealt with was totally courteous and professional and friendly, along with being clean as they went along. One of the things that stood out to us was the response time by the entire team, quote given time frame everything down to the last detail. Especially what stood out was the communication factor anytime we had a question it was answered in a very timely fashion, ( Thanks Joe) always received a response to our inquiries no matter how miniscule the question. Also the quote given was the final payment paid SPOT ON!! We are looking for some future work to be done and without ANY hesitation Cosmic Remodeling will be performing that next project. If looking for a contractor I have no qualms referring the Cosmic team!"

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.
