"Steve said he would deliver materials on Monday and do the work on Tuesday. I came home Monday night and he had about 80% completed. He finished the job before sun set."

"From the moment I put in a request for quote and Fleming Landscaping & Home Improvements, LLC answered my call immediately. I was already impressed. They were extremely professional and kept us abreast of everything from start to finish. We got a reasonable bid and they started the work on the day they said they would and did an exceptional job. My porch has not been that sturdy in many, many years and it is so solid now. My husband and I cannot stop looking at it. Anyone that is looking for a top notch contractor who keeps their word and gets the job done, you need NOT look any further than Fleming Landscaping & Home Improvements, LLC. We were so impressed with their work, we will be hiring them again! A pure pleasure to work with. Other contractors should take a page out of their book. This is how you treat customers!!!! A Chef Kiss!"

"JB Builders was efficient, professional, and very detail-oriented, as well as fairly priced. I needed a ceiling and wall repair in my 122 year old Victorian. The Master Builder they had leading the project and his team were polite, spoke to me (a woman) respectfully, and patiently answered every question. When the unexpected happened (e.g.: old soot in the walls) they handled it quickly and easily. Perfect experience, best contractors I've had, highly recommend. Pics are before, during and after."

"Zac is a very knowledgeable contractor. He gave us different options, with pros and cons and allowed us to decide. And he gave us a very fair price. His crew is amazing, good craftsmen and hard working. We could not be more happy with the end result. I would recommend this company to everyone."

"Fantastic work! I can't say enough good things about it from top to bottom. Tim repaired and retiled our master bathroom shower. Extremely efficient and knowledgeable. He made the tile we chose look even better than the displays in the store. And the work he did is of truly superior quality. Easily the most hard working contractor we've ever hired. And easily the best contractor we've ever hired with an amazing work ethic (and I had completely given up trusting contractors, but Tim changed my mind!) Tim is going to be the first person we call for all our other home improvement projects in the future."

"Did a beautiful job on replacing an exterior door and adding a screen door. Very reasonable and knowledgeable. Will be using them again for other work around the house like plumbing, renovations, painting, garage door, and electrical work. I am so happy knowing that I have someone dependable, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced."

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.
