Choosing a Contractor?
Here's What You Need To Know Before You Hire:
When it comes to home improvement or commercial construction, choosing the right contractor is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Whether you’re planning a kitchen remodel, bathroom upgrade, or a complete property overhaul, partnering with a reliable, experienced contractor ensures your project runs smoothly—from start to finish.
At MRK & J, we believe in transparency, craftsmanship, and customer-first service. But no matter who you choose, here are a few things to look for when hiring a contractor:
1. Check for Licensing and Insurance
Always work with a licensed and insured contractor. This protects you from liability and ensures the company meets local standards and codes. MRK & J is fully licensed and insured for residential and commercial work.
2. Look at Past Work
A contractor’s portfolio says a lot. Ask for examples of recent projects similar to yours. At MRK & J, we’re proud to showcase our completed work so clients know exactly what to expect.
3. Get Clear Estimates in Writing
A detailed written estimate helps you avoid hidden fees or budget surprises. It should outline labor, materials, timelines, and payment terms. We provide transparent quotes so you feel confident moving forward.
4. Ask for References
Don’t hesitate to ask for and contact references. Hearing from past clients can help you gauge a contractor’s reliability and quality of work.
5. Communication Is Key
Choose a contractor who communicates clearly, returns calls, and keeps you in the loop. MRK & J prides itself on consistent, honest communication throughout your project.
6. Prioritize Quality Over Price
Going with the cheapest bid often leads to costly problems later. Focus on value—high-quality workmanship, trustworthy service, and long-term results.
At MRK & J, we make the contractor selection process easy by providing dependable service, detailed planning, and results that last. If you’re ready to take the next step in your construction or remodeling project, contact us today for a free consultation.
