How to INTERVIEW a Prospective Contractor

Bad contractor experiences can ruin investing projects and sadly they seem to happen often. Avoid this through a sound hiring process. It begins with the interview. In this conversation you want to make sure of three things:

This contractor is:

1. A good person;

2. Good at what he/she does;

3. Wants the work badly enough to make your project a priority.

If the person fails on any of the three, you will regret hiring them. Be picky. Be demanding but fair. Communicate clearly and often. Click here to download a list of questions that can guide your interview process.
