Choosing the Best Contractor for Your Project
Choosing a qualified contractor requires verification, not vibes. Begin your evaluation by confirming a current New Jersey license, experience with Dunellen permits, and valid general liability and workers' comp insurance. Ask for recent local references and images of properly permitted work. Evaluate project portfolios that match your needs, trades, and complexity.
Review scheduling protocols, supervision requirements, and subcontractor oversight. Require a comprehensive written scope, CSI-style line items, and a feasible timeline with specific milestones. Throughout contract preparation, define specifications, materials, and allowances, permitting responsibilities, inspections, and closeout documents. Connect payments to verified and finished milestones-never pay large deposits. Confirm change-order protocols, unit pricing, and dispute settlement procedures. Confirm safety protocols, site security, and warranty terms. Select the contractor who demonstrates comprehensive documentation, responsive communication, and a documented track record of successful inspections.
