What to ask before you hire a local demolition contractor
When hiring for a demolition job, you’ll want to ensure that you’re using a competent demolition company to provide the best demolition service. To better help you in deciding whether you found the best contractor or not, here are some questions worth asking.
- Do you have an insurance? If so, you’ll need to ensure that the company’s insurance is not expired. In the event of accidents, it’ll save you from legal implications.
- Who’s going to arrange the permits? A good demolition contractor will know who’s going to be responsible for any demolition permits and how to obtain them.
- What’s your timeline for completion? Whether a commercial, residential or a bridge demolition contractor, they’ll be able to provide you at the very least a rough timeline of the whole demolition service.
- What does your quote cover? Make sure you know services are included in the quote. Consider whether the assessment, demolition process, clean-up and disposal are already covered.
- When can you start? Some demolition contractors have already set schedules and backed up projects, so you’ll want to make sure that they’re free to accommodate your target schedule.
