Ask friends, family, and neighbors for contractor suggestions. Use Nextdoor and professional associations like the Marin Builders Association for additional leads.

Verify Credentials
Ensure the contractor is licensed and insured. Ask for proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and confirm their experience with similar projects.

Check References & Past Work
Contact references to assess work quality, timeliness, and budget adherence. Visit past projects or current job sites if possible.

Get Everything in Writing
Ensure a detailed contract with scope, materials, timeline, payment schedule, and warranties.

Evaluate Communication & Compatibility
Choose a contractor who communicates clearly and professionally.

Consider the Bid
Beware of bids that are much lower than others—ensure a detailed cost breakdown.
