Choosing The Best Concrete Demolition Company

Updated: Aug 23, 2019


Home improvement projects can be extremely stressful. However, the hardest part of the home improvement project is not the work itself. The hardest part is finding the right contractor.


You may have heard stories from people who hired a contractor who was a con artist. The good news is this type of thing can be avoided. There are several things that you can do to ensure that you pick the right contractor.


Have a To-Do List


You will need to know what you need to have done before you hire a contractor. You should also make a list of everything that you need to have done. Making a to-do list will ensure that you get an accurate estimate. You will also need to answer the following questions.


  • What type of concrete removal project is it?

  • How large is the area?

  • Where is the concrete? Can someone quickly get to it with equipment?

  • Is any part of the concrete being reinforced with rebar or mesh?


Ask Friends and Family Members for References


Someone you know has likely hired a contractor in the past. That is why you should ask your family members and friends for help.


Speak to Multiple Contractors


To ensure that you get the best work for your money, you should speak to at least three contractors. Ask each one to provide you with an estimate.


Choose the Best Contractor for Your Project


Someone may be a great contractor. However, they may not be an expert in concrete removal. That is why it is essential to choose a contractor who has been trained to do the project that you need them to do.


Find out About the Licensing Requirements in Your Area


Subcontractors and licensed contractors will need to be licensed before any work is done. However, this can vary depending on where you live. That is why it is a good idea to check the licensing laws in your state.


Get the Details in Writing


Before you hire a contractor, you will need to get all of the details in writing. This includes deadlines, payment plans and a detailed description of the work that will be done.


Make Sure That the Contractor Has the Required Permits


Almost every home renovation project requires a permit before any work is done. However, you may not need to get a permit to have the concrete removed. You should check with the building department and contractor before any work is done.


Determine the Payment Schedule


Your contractor should not ask for more than 50 percent upfront. Ideally, it should be less than 30 percent. Your contractor should detail the payment schedule in the contract.


Communicate Often


You should talk to your contractor often to see how the progress is going.
