Do your research

If you think you’d like a hand and are considering the hire of a contractor to help build your True North design, we recommend that you do some research prior to making a decision. It’s important to enlist the services of a qualified contractor who understands your expectations for the project.
To help you determine whether a prospective contractor is suitable for your project, we've compiled a list of key questions and things to consider, all important when it comes down to how to build a shed:

Ask for a list of completed projects and, if possible, look at the finished products in person to evaluate the work that was done.

• How long has the contractor been in business?

• How many jobs have they previously completed that are similar to your current project?

• Were your phone calls and/or emails returned quickly?

• Did you feel comfortable with the prospective contractor?

Once you find a contractor you like you’ll have to sign a contract before you move forward with the project. Make sure your contract contains the following:

• Outline of Work: Provides a clear definition of all the work that is to be done.

• Schedule: Clearly indicates the date the job will begin, the hours to be worked, and an estimated job completion date.

• Insurance: Indicates that the contractor has insurance, and includes the name of the insurance company as well as any supporting documents.

• Warranties: Ask that all written warranties be provided for workmanship.

• Payment: It’s normal for contractors to request a down payment; however, each contractor will have their own policies. Some expect 1/2 down to start and the other 1/2 to be paid upon completion. Prior to any final payments, confirm that the work has been completed to your satisfaction.

• Other Issues: Some specific issues to address may include the equipment on the lawn, damaged household items, clean up, working hours and debris. Ensure that these issues are to your satisfaction.
