Whether you are looking to have an entirely new home built or do some improvements to the one you have already, the most important thing is to locate a quality construction company to help you with the project. There are a number of characteristics to look for that will make your sunroom or screen room addition, bathroom remodeling project, or any other home remodeling project turn out the way you want it to with the least amount of stress and anxiety.

1. Well Known – A quality construction company will be well-known in the neighborhood, not only for doing great work, but also for their involvement in the community.
2. Experience – To find a top-notch construction company, look to those that have a long history of doing the type of work you need. Even a new company should be able to show you references of work they performed while in someone else’s employ.
3. Insured & Licensed – Don’t hire a handyman with no insurance or license for any work in your home. A reputable construction company will gladly show you proof of insurance and licensing.
4. Warranty Offered – A reputable company will stand behind the work they do and will offer not only the manufacturer warranty, but also guarantee the work they have done.
5. Employees and Trade Partners (Subcontractors) – Most quality construction companies have the majority of their work done by either their own employees or subcontractors.  If a trade partner (subcontractor) will be doing any work on your home, be sure to verify that they also have insurance and any required licensing. However, most of the time, the main construction company uses the same set of trade partners frequently because they do quality work. Quite often you will find that they use a mix of their own employees and reputable subcontractors.
6. Online Rating Services – There are a number of online sources to go to for researching construction companies that not only tell you what past customers are saying, but also further give you an indication of how long they have been in business.
7. Professional Appearance – Reputable and successful construction companies will have well-maintained vehicles and expect their employees to maintain a professional appearance.
