Trusted Contractor Since 
If you’re thinking of lowering your basement, choosing the right contractor is critical to ensuring a successful and stress-free project. Not all contractors are created equal, and selecting the wrong one can lead to delays, cost overruns, and subpar workmanship. At IcyReno Waterproofing, we understand the importance of choosing the right contractor, which is why we’ve put together this guide to help you make an informed decision.
Here Are The Steps To Follow
Check for Licensing and Insurance
The first thing to look for when selecting a contractor is whether they are licensed and insured. Basement lowering is a complex project that requires expertise in structural engineering, plumbing, electrical, and other trades. A licensed contractor will have the training and experience to ensure that your project meets building code requirements and that all work is done safely and correctly. Additionally, a contractor that is fully insured will protect you from liability in case of accidents or damage to your property.
Look for Experience
The next thing to consider is the contractor’s experience. Look for a contractor that has completed several basement lowering projects in your area. An experienced contractor will have the knowledge and expertise to deal with unforeseen challenges and ensure that your project is completed on time and on budget.
Ask for References
Always ask for references from previous clients. A reputable contractor will be happy to provide you with a list of references and may even have photos or videos of completed projects to show you. Contact the references and ask about their experience with the contractor, the quality of work, and whether the project was completed on time and within budget.
Get Multiple Quotes
Always get multiple quotes from different contractors. This will help you compare prices, services, and warranties. Keep in mind that the lowest quote isn’t always the best option, and it’s important to look at the overall value and reputation of the contractor.
Check for Warranty
Make sure the contractor offers a warranty for their work. A reputable contractor will stand behind their workmanship and offer a warranty of at least 10 years. A warranty will give you peace of mind that the contractor will fix any issues that arise after the project is completed.
Look for Modern Equipment
Ensure that the contractor uses modern equipment for their work. Modern equipment is more efficient and can complete the project faster, which can save you money on labor costs. Additionally, modern equipment is safer and reduces the risk of damage to your property.
