Looking for a home reno contractor? Beware…

A word of caution.

During Alberta’s economic downturn numerous “unlicensed” contractors displaced from their jobs in the oilpatch have turned to construction for work. It is critical to do your due diligence if you’re looking for a contractor to help you out with your renos. Not only are some of these contractors inexperienced, but many don’t have insurance.

No matter what project you’re considering, from kitchen or bathroom reno, to full on basement reno, it’s worth researching which contractor is best qualified to do the job.
