Q - On what criteria should we choose a contractor?
A - Quality, reputation, and value are the main things to look for. While your budget is always a factor, beware of low ball offers. If you needed surgery to correct a serious health problem, would you select your doctor based solely upon the lowest bid? If you are like most people, the answer is a resounding 'NO'. However, many homeowners think nothing of spending tens of thousands of dollars and opening their homes to virtual strangers whom they have selected solely on price. Granted, a remodeling project is not a life-threatening operation, but it does have the potential for serious impact on the family’s well-being and financial health.
There can be many reasons for a low bid including lack of experience, low quality materials and workmanship, and incomplete proposals or bids. That’s why it is important to select a contractor by quality, value, and reputation.
Q - Are all contractors bound by the same guidelines?
A- Unfortunately not. Only the best contractors, like Marrokal Construction, are members of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI). Each member of the NARI pledges to observe high standards of honesty, integrity and responsibility in the conduct of business.
