Getting your home construction done can be a capital-intensive exercise. And if you’re like most homeowners, you have to spend a lot of time thinking, planning, and determining different aspects of your house and the home project you are considering.
One of the things you must get right when building or doing any home project is choosing a good contractor. If you choose a good contractor, you end up with a home project that’s well done and worthy of praise and admiration. If you make the mistake of choosing the wrong contractor, you end up with a poorly done home project, more potential damage, and more expense.
Unfortunately, with everyone claiming to be an expert in the home project construction field, it can be difficult to choose the best contractor to get the job done. That’s why you need to consider critical factors that differentiate contractors.
In this article, we’ll share with you the top factors to consider before choosing any home project contractor.
Certifications and Licenses
There are national and state construction laws and building codes, and each state has different housing codes. And before you could do anything on your project, you need to ensure you follow all the rules.
The first thing you need to do is to make sure the contractor you intend to hire meets all the legal requirements. The contractor should be certified and licensed to operate in your area.
Fortunately for you, Butler Homes is certified and licensed (# 80620) for all home projects and custom home builds.
Your Project Needs
The next thing that you need to consider is what your project requires. The nature of your project will determine the type of contractor you’ll need. If you need help, we can assist with project requirements.

Contractor Skills and Expertise
The other thing that you need to think about is the skills and expertise of your contractors. (We've been doing home projects for over 15 years!)
What area of home contracting do they specialize in? This is the first thing you need to consider before picking any home contractor. Ensure they all have the skills and expertise that your project requires.
Contractor Experience
Have the contractors done the same work before, and are there references (Google reviews are a great resource)? This is a question you must answer. There are some contractors who have no clue what they are doing and are “learning” on your important project. Avoid this! They should have experience in doing the kind of work they offer. To be on the safe side, ask them to show you their portfolio.
Final Thought
A good contractor will go miles for you and make sure your home project is completed to your level of satisfaction.
And we even step customer service up a notch. In the case of Butler Homes, we’ve been doing this for so long, we offer customers best-practice advice to enhance the overall beauty and integrity of the project.
