10 Steps to Finding the Right Contractor | Hour 1

About this episode

Dean shares his ten-step playbook for finding the right contractor and emphasizes the importance of careful selection and design consideration.

Dean shares his ten-step playbook for finding the right contractor, stressing that it’s your responsibility to choose the person who will get the job done. He calls out a common “culture hole” — we rush into projects without considering design — and explains how to vet three or more qualified prospects. Dean’s practical advice starts with checking contractors’ legal credentials online and continues through the consultation: punctuality, appearance, clear communication, and knowing who you’re talking to.
