Tips To Help You Choose A Bathroom Contractor

Choosing a contractor for your new bathroom can be much more difficult then first thought

. With so many companies to choose from it is a tough job narrowing it down until your find the perfect one.

Research

Unless you are lucky enough to be recommended by someone close to you or reliable then chances are you are going to need to do some digging on the best company to go with. Years ago you would have to sift through the yellow pages and local directories to find a company. This method still works however but with the more companies going online it is no longer the best place to start. Use the search engines to see what companies are around and see what work they have done before. This is the best way to sort the wheat from the chaff.

Check Their Address

The last thing you want to do is travel to the next city so make sure you contractor is local. Visit their website and make sure they are in fact where they say they are. Some websites are outdated and so the company may have moved.

Read Reviews

Once you see a few companies you like at first glance before wasting your time and booking an appointment it is a good idea to see what other people have thought of the company. Try having a look at any local review sites to see if anyone has left feedback. It is worth mentioning here to use caution when reading reviews on the contractor's site as they are always going to be bias.

Visit their Showroom

Its all well and good seeing the contractor's range of bathrooms online however it is not until you see it in person that you realise how good/bad they are. Therefore once you have a list of potential contractors visit their showroom and get a feel for work they have done. This will also give you some inspiration for how you want your bathroom to look and so can help you develop a brief.

Arrange a Consultation

If you find a contractor that ticks all the right boxes arrange a consultation. Here you can discuss your vision and see what the contractor can do for you. Remember nothing is set in stone at this stage and so you can arrange a consultation with more than one contractor, however this is the best way to feel certain on what contractor you want to work with. It is worth mentioning that there is always a bit of compromise when it comes to discussing ideas however your contractor should be able to steer you in the best direction possible but still trying their best to keep with the style you are after. Lastly make sure you check whether or not there is a fee for the consultation as some do charge.

So that concludes a very simple guide to deciding on a bathroom contractor. A last point to make is to never feel intimidated into going with a contractor. Some can be forceful with their sales push so unless you are certain there and then always go away and think about it, after all a new bathroom can be expensive and so you want the best job possible.
