How do you go about finding a reliable and qualified contractor if you don’t know anyone who can give you a recommendation?  Looking for a contractor online can be a good start, but you’ll need to know what steps to take to screen the contractors in order to find a good match for your needs.

Make a list of five or six contracting companies that do work in your area.  Call each one to explain the work you need to have done and listen to what the company has to say about your project regarding their experience and how long they think it would take to complete the work.  Narrow your list down to three or four who seem the most qualified and reliable and ask them to provide you with references and whether or not you can view their portfolio.  Many times, contractors will set up an appointment with you to view jobs they’re currently working on or have recently finished.

The process of screening contractors may seem very time consuming, but in order to find a reliable and qualified contractor who will do the work without causing stress or headaches, you’ll want to put forth a little effort during the selection process!

Keep in mind that the contractor who speaks well and is a good salesperson on the phone may not be the most qualified on the job.  Sometimes, the opposite is true so don’t judge the book by it’s cover.  On the other hand, a contractor who can explain things in detail and give specific ideas regarding your project is something to look for when seeking a qualified contractor.  If you can, write out a list of expectations for your project when talking with a contractor, to decrease the possibility of your project going over budget due to changes.

Qualified contractors will provide you with a written estimate, or quote for the project.  Look for quotes that include a line-by-line explanation of charges for the work.  Keep in mind that while your budget is always a priority, the most qualified and reliable contractor may not be the one who provides the lowest estimate.  It’s also possible that contractors who quote a project at extremely low prices may not be including all work involved – and that you could end up with surprise charges before the project is completed.

Choosing a reliable and qualified contractor is the first step in getting the space of your dreams.

Awning Windows

Often used for ventilation and light, they are placed high on walls and open out and upward, with a hinge on either side of the window opening.  They can be used in bedrooms and bathrooms to allow light and breeze to come in, but still ensure complete privacy from people outside.

Casement Windows

Instead of sliding up and down, a casement window opens and closes with a crank.  This makes them ideal for hard-to-reach areas, such as over your kitchen sink.

Double Hung Windows

Similar to the standard and more traditional single pane windows, the double hung window allows you to open just the top half or just the bottom half.  Many people prefer a double hung window for their child’s room to allow fresh air in from the top of the window and ensure young children do not fall out through the bottom of a traditional open window.

Gliding Windows

A gliding window slides in and out to open and close, rather than having to push it up to open or turn a crank like the other types of windows.  They are easier to maneuver, and work well on walls that line walkways and seating areas where you wouldn’t want an awning or casement window sticking out when open.

Picture Windows

For areas where you need a lot of light and unobstructed views, the picture window is the ideal solution.  Picture windows are a pane of glass, but they don’t open so you wouldn’t want to use them in an area where you need ventilation.  You can however, place other window types that do open on either side of a picture window to enable both light and ventilation.

Bay Windows

Bay windows create an interesting “nook” out of glass while letting in both light and ventilation.  They are typically angled outward, giving a room a more spacious feel.  You’ll often find bay windows in kitchens, family rooms and master bedrooms.  They create a great place for a seating area.

Regardless of the type of window you need installed or replaced, Just Real Construction can help you ensure they are installed professionally.
