How to Choose the Right Contractor for Your Project
Selecting a qualified contractor requires proper vetting, not vibes. Start your evaluation by checking an active New Jersey license, experience with Dunellen permits, and valid general liability and workers' comp protection. Request current local references and examples of regulation-meeting work. Review project portfolios that correspond to your requirements, trades, and level of difficulty.
Assess project timelines, oversight, and subcontractor controls. Demand a thorough written scope, CSI-style line items, and a feasible timeline with specific milestones. Throughout contract preparation, specify allowances, materials, and specifications, permitting responsibilities, inspections, and closeout documents. Link payments to verified and finished milestones-never advance large deposits. Establish change-order protocols, unit pricing, and dispute resolution protocols. Confirm safety protocols, site protection measures, and warranty conditions. Choose the contractor who shows transparent documentation, efficient communication, and a verified track record of passing inspections.
