Questions to Ask Your Kitchen Remodeling Contractor

Experience & Credentials

First and foremost, you want to make sure the kitchen remodeling contractor has experience and/or expertise, especially with respect to your specific type of project.

• How many years of experience do you have in kitchen remodeling?
• Are you licensed and insured?
• Can you tell me about the credentials and qualifications of the contractors to be assigned on my project?
• Can you provide references from previous clients?
• Have you worked on any similar kitchen remodeling projects in the past? Can you provide photos or other examples?

Experience matters, but so does specialization. Though a general contractor will likely have experience with a wide range of remodeling or construction projects, you might want to find a contractor that specializes in kitchen remodeling.

Expectation Management

“But I thought” is not something you want to end up saying. Before your consultation, you should think of some scenarios that you want to avoid and get written guarantees. Here are some things to ask to avoid disagreements down the line.

• Can you provide a detailed project estimate?
• Can you provide a timeline for the project?
• Can you work with my preferred materials and finishes?
• Who will be responsible for securing necessary permits?
• How will you protect my home during the remodeling process?
• How will you handle any unexpected problems that may arise during the project?
• How do you handle change orders during the project?
• Can you provide a written warranty for your work?
• Do you offer financing options?

There are a lot of moving parts and variables in a kitchen remodeling project, so it’s important to review each of these components with your potential contractor upfront. You want to be detailed but not too rigid. You can expect price ranges or time ranges, but specific numbers and dates can be unrealistic. Still, you can get a sweet spot and make sure to have as much of things in writing as possible.
