May 29, 2018

Here at Sunburst we’re many things: Fort Lauderdale shutter installers, home design professionals, and more. But in the end, you can just call us Fort Lauderdale contractors.

There are tons of contractors in Fort Lauderdale, and it might be difficult to pick the right one. Whether you’re looking for an entire kitchen remodel, new flooring, or new window treatments – doing business with the right team is important. Here are a few questions to ask the next time you’re looking for a Fort Lauderdale contractor for your next project.

Check Their Credentials

Regardless of the size of your next project, you need to be able to trust your contractor 100%. Build that trust by checking out their credentials. Ask for copies of any certifications and insurance – any contractor worth the money won’t hesitate to show them.

Also be sure to look at some reviews. See what past customers have said about the contractor from some of these sources:

HomeAdvisor
Angie’s List
Houzz
Facebook
Google Business
Better Business Bureau
Yelp

Be careful not to make the mistake of implicitly trusting online reviews. Reviews are just one source to keep in mind when choosing a contractor.

Ask Questions Specific To Your Home

No one knows your home better than you, so don’t hesitate to voice any questions or concerns you have about your project with your potential home service provider. Are you concerned about how the new tile you want might not work with your subfloor, or wondering if your new wood shutters are a better idea than wood blinds?

Get the Details on Install Day

Depending on what your project is, installation day can be grueling and long, or it could be a snap. For any size project, be sure to get the details for installation day. Here are a few to get you started.

Roughly how long will the installation take?
How many installers might be coming in and out of my house?
Will I need to move any furniture or anything else in the house?
How likely is there to be any fumes or dust during or after the installation?
How much noise should I expect?
Will my kids or pets need to be out of the house during the installation?
