Fast Checklist (Use This Today)

Five steps that prevent 90% of the common problems: unclear scope, weak warranties, and unpredictable costs.

1) Define the scope

Write down what’s included, what’s excluded, and what “done” means. Photos help.

2) Verify proof

Ask for licensing/insurance proof where applicable, plus recent projects and references.

3) Compare bids correctly

Make sure bids are for the same materials, prep, warranty, and cleanup — not just a price.

4) Lock the timeline

Start date, duration, and what happens if weather or supply delays occur.

5) Get it in writing

Scope + payment schedule + warranty + change-order rules. No handshake-only deals.

Bonus: Ask about the crew

Who shows up, who supervises, and who you call if something breaks or needs touch-ups.

Questions to Ask (Copy/Paste)

  • Scope: “Walk me through prep, materials, cleanup, and what’s excluded.”
  • Warranty: “What’s covered, for how long, and what voids it?”
  • Change orders: “How are changes priced and approved?”
  • Schedule: “How many days and what causes delays?”
  • References: “Can I talk to 2–3 recent customers?”

Red Flags

  • Vague bids (“labor + materials”) with no scope.
  • Pressure to pay in full up front.
  • No written change-order process.
  • Unclear who is responsible for permits or disposal.
  • “We can start tomorrow” with no scheduling details.

Home Services Guide FAQ

These answers support the checklist above and align with what is currently published in the directory.

What if a business has no published hours?

Call before driving, confirm appointment windows, and ask who is your day-of contact. Treat missing hours as a scheduling risk to clear up early.

What pricing information should I request?

Ask for line-item scope, materials, cleanup, change-order rules, and warranty terms. “Quote only” businesses can still be compared if the scope is written clearly.

How should I use verification status?

Use it as a starting signal. Verified contact/hours means the basic profile details were source-checked, not that the job fit or quality is guaranteed for your project.
