Hiring a contractor shouldn’t feel intimidating — but many homeowners, especially seniors and women, feel rushed, talked down to, or pressured.
Knowing what to look for protects both your home and your peace of mind.
Red Flags to Watch For
- No written estimate
- Pressure to decide immediately
- Lack of license or insurance
- Unwillingness to answer questions
- Large upfront payments
Trustworthy contractors welcome questions.
Questions You Should Always Ask
- Are you licensed and insured?
- Who will be doing the work?
- What prep is included?
- What happens if something isn’t right?
Clear answers indicate professionalism.
Why Experience Matters
A contractor who understands:
- Older homes
- Senior safety needs
- Budget sensitivity
will guide you differently than one focused only on volume.
Trust Is Built Through Transparency
You deserve:
- Clear communication
- Respect for your home
- Honest recommendations
Quality workmanship and good customer service should go hand in hand.
