Common questions about hiring a contractor
Yes. Browsing contractors, comparing them, and requesting quotes are all free, and there's no obligation to hire anyone. You pay the contractor you choose for the work they do. You never pay Better Abode.
Better Abode covers projects including roofing, HVAC, plumbing, window installation, siding, gutters, and kitchen and bathroom remodeling, among others. If it's the kind of home project where you'd want an experienced professional, there's a good chance you can find help here.
Ask who will actually perform the work and whether they're employees or subcontractors. Ask for licensing and insurance information, recent local references, the proposed payment schedule, who will obtain permits, and what happens if the project runs over budget or schedule. Get important commitments in writing before work begins.
Quotes through Better Abode are free to homeowners, and requesting one doesn't obligate you to hire the contractor. Comparing estimates and deciding not to proceed with one—or deciding not to proceed with the project at all—is a normal part of hiring for home improvement work.
