Did you know that in the City of San Antonio remodeling requires a contractor license for almost all remodeling work? Most remodeling work requires a permit and therefore needs to be done by a licensed home improvement contractor, as well as any work in excess of $2,500 requires a home improvement permit and in order to get that permit your contractor must be licensed.

A good way to check out your remodeling contractor is to call the City of San Antonio Licensing Division and ask if they have any unresolved complaints about that contractor and if they do RUN!

Is your contractor registered with the State of Texas? The Texas Residential Construction Commission requires that all builders and remodeling contractors register in the State of Texas. Ask your contractor what his registration # is. Check to see if your contractor is a member of a professional trade organization. Most contractors that are involved in one tend to be more professional. Make sure your contractor has plenty of references and follow up on those references. Make sure they are specific with the project you need. If the contractor specializes in building fences you certainly don’t want him to build a kitchen for you.

Be sure and ask your contractor how they deal with warranties. Do they have Joe the sub contractor come out and try and fix it again or do they actually have a warranty department that follows up with you. Does your remodeling contractor have a design department? Can they design the project that you want and follow through with building it? If their design department consists of an old napkin or a piece of notebook paper you may want to reconsider your choice.
