What to look for in a home-services business
Hiring someone to work on your home is a trust decision. Before you commit, confirm the basics: Are they licensed and insured for your type of work? Will they put the estimate in writing, with a clear scope and timeline? How do they handle changes once the job starts? The businesses featured here sat down for an interview to answer exactly these questions — so you can judge their approach before you ever pick up the phone.
