When you hire a contractor for new construction or a re-fit of some sort you should check their work once completed. It is not common but city inspectors have been known to overlook public safety concerns in the building inspection process.

Here are Five Steps You Should  Know About When Hiring a Contractor

1 – Hire a contractor who has been a long time and has good references.

2 – Do some research on plumbing, electrical, and building codes so that you can recognize if someone is trying to pull the wool over your eyes.

3 – Take pictures of the work and mark items such as sanitary sewer line and storm sewer. Make sure the connected ends are marked with the same.

4 – Write down any problems you have in a notebook, so you can ask the contractor and the inspector about your concerns. Do not be afraid to ask too many questions. A good contractor will take the time to answer your questions.

5 – Always check to see if the inspector looks at all the important points that you learned during your research so you can ask any other questions that may come up.

Remember

Even if a house has been inspected and the contractor goes bankrupt, it is the homeowner who gets stuck with the cost of repairs. Spend a few hours doing your homework. By doing so you could possibly save yourself thousands of dollars in the long run.

When looking for plumbers in Vancouver there are a lot of choices when you go online these days. It used to be that you could ask a friend and they would know someone who could recommend a good plumber.

Our world may be shrinking, but our neighbors seem to be further away sometimes. One thing that has been helpful lately are those business sites with reviews. Nowadays you can look around a number of places like the Maps area and Google Places to see what other people are saying about companies in the service industry.

A few good reviews sites are N49, Yelp and 4Square.  Those guys have gone overboard to find ways for you to leave your opinion on a contractor who worked for you in some capacity.
