What you can check yourself
- Decide your tier honestly (refresh vs mid-range vs gut) before getting quotes — quotes aren't comparable across tiers.
- Ask each contractor what's excluded: permits, appliances, and finish materials are the usual surprises.
- Verify the contractor's license with your state board before signing anything.
