Hiring a remodeling contractor is a huge decision, and one that no homeowner should take lightly. Not only are you allowing your home remodelers to enter your private sanctuary, but you’re giving them permission to gut your home – and trusting that they will stick around long enough to finish the job.
Anyone who has ever been burned on a home remodeling project knows just what a gift a reliable remodeling contractor can be. While it’s essential that you do your own research and ask your friends and family about home remodel contractors before making a decision, there’s one more thing you can do to add an extra layer of assurance: Hire an Oregon Remodelers Association member.
Here are three reasons to consider choosing an ORA remodeling contractor for your home remodel:
1. They follow a code of ethics. As an organization, we hold our home remodelers to high standards. Our code of ethics applies to everything from the use of quality products and truthful advertising to prompt complaint resolution; compliance with all federal, state, and local laws; and maintaining all required insurance and licensing.
2. They have a reputation to uphold. By joining the ORA, our home remodel contractors have voluntarily placed themselves under the microscope. Members of the ORA are as accountable to their colleagues as they are to their clients, which provides an added incentive to stay current on their certifications and invest in continuing education.
3. They can make high-quality referrals. The best home remodel contractors are not only good at their jobs, but they have plenty of business associates who are reliable and capable, as well. Our home remodelers are well-equipped to supply your project with all of the skill and expertise you need, from plumbers to electricians to tile installers.
