  2. Five Ways to Spot an Untrustworthy General Contractor A general contractor is your project leader, the person who puts together a team of workers and subcontractors for you to work on your home improvement or construction project. Be wary of anyone who offers to work without a contract or upfront money. Even if he’s the best in the business, there will be problems down the road that could ruin your remodeling experience. You do not want a bad experience. Waldron Construction LLC - 889 Main St, Antioch, IL 60002, USA - 224-788-9173 https://www.waldronconstructionllc.com

  3. Five Ways to Spot an Untrustworthy General Contractor 1. He provides vague answers or no information. If your general contractor glosses over questions about his experience and training or avoids answering them entirely, that’s a red flag - he may be trying to hide something. If he is evasive, cold, or just plain rude when communicating with you throughout the job, there will likely be additional issues later on. Working with people, one must have mutual trust and respect for the success of the project overall. Also, be wary of anyone who doesn’t provide references upon request or fails to show up to meetings he has scheduled.

  4. Five Ways to Spot an Untrustworthy General Contractor 2. Try and ask for references from previous clients. Past job sites are almost like an online resume for a general contractor; they’ll give you an indication of how someone has performed in the past on similar projects as yours. Check out any job site after it’s finished to see how clean things are done. With the wonder that is called the internet, you are also able to check work samples probably from Google through reviews posted or other social media sites such as Facebook, or even Instagram. With the social media sites, you could also see the comments and gauge from the reviews.

  5. Five Ways to Spot an Untrustworthy General Contractor 3. In the current market, due to shortages experienced, most contractors will ask for an upfront payment, to be able to secure the items in good timing. For instance, a 50% upfront payment, 25% on the second draw, 15% on the third draw, and 10% on the final payment. Though this depends from job to job, depending on the materials and the current market prices. The best way to avoid being tricked by a general contractor with no experience is by asking questions.

  6. Five Ways to Spot an Untrustworthy General Contractor If your concerns are ignored or brushed off as unimportant, you may have found yourself working with someone who isn’t willing to communicate openly. An example would be if he offered to do plumbing, electrical, carpentry, masonry work all at once without knowing how much it’s going to cost him yet or if he’s able to find a plumber who will give him an estimate based on the work he plans to do.

  7. Five Ways to Spot an Untrustworthy General Contractor 4. Never hire a general contractor who will not sign a contract or who tries to push a “verbal” arrangement that you’re expected to honor. This is a recipe for disaster. It’s much better to move on to another general contractor at this point. If he’s asking you for $1,000 to start the job and then wants another $2,500 when it’s finished (a common scheme), don’t do it. You can also ask him for full payment before starting work if that makes you feel more comfortable.

  8. Five Ways to Spot an Untrustworthy General Contractor 5. Look into general contractors who have their insurance policy for their employees and subcontractors who’ll be working with them on your home project. Suppose anyone is injured while working on your property, and a general contractor doesn’t have his own workers’ compensation insurance paid out by someone else. In that case, they could walk away from the job, leaving you with an unpaid bill but no one to help finish it. At the very least, this cost should be in the contract, so there are no surprises.

  9. Five Ways to Spot an Untrustworthy General Contractor Keep in mind that general contractors who operate with a high degree of integrity and honesty almost always have a busy schedule, so you should be patient when waiting for an estimate or final bill to come in. Consider any delay caused by the large number of people wanting work done on their homes during these trying economic times. When hiring a general contractor, make sure he knows your expectations, both professionally and personally, and ask him about his experience with projects like yours before giving him the job. The more specialized your project (like building a new home), the more critical it will be for you to find someone who has experience in this area specifically.
