Hiring a remodeling contractor soon - any tips on vetting them? I'm comparing itemized bids and timelines, but I'm unsure how to handle allowances and change orders. Also curious what you paid for deposit percentages and whether you required them to pull permits and provide a workmanship warranty.

Call three recent clients, verify license/insurance, visit a current jobsite, and require lien waivers with each draw and a cleanup plan. I pay 10% down then 40/40/10 tied to inspections (final 10% after punch list), require the GC to pull permits, and ask for a 1-year labor warranty Doxa Homes in Knoxville met all that.
