Getting your home ready for sale? Today’s buyers want homes in pristine condition so before you put your home on the market, fix anything that is showing wear-and-tear. That may mean hiring a contractor. The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) says one of the most important steps in hiring a qualified contractor is checking references. NARI suggests homeowners ask references the following questions:

• Were you able to communicate with the contractor?
• Were you pleased with the quality of the contractor’s work?
• Were you satisfied with the contractor’s business practices?
• Did the contractor begin work on time?
• Was the job completed on schedule?
• Did the contractor fulfill all the terms of your agreement?
• Did the contractor stay in touch throughout the project?
• Were the final details completed in a timely fashion?
• Would you use this contractor again without hesitation?
