If your project does not have to be completed on a priority basis, you may want to consider offering it to a contractor as a "fill in" job. Most contractors will take such projects at a reduced price, insuring they have other work in the event of adverse weather or materials delivery mix-ups at another project.

Many contractors will accept a project as a "reference" contract. This is a win-win situation for the property owner; work is completed at a reduced price, and since the contractor will use the completed job to showcase his expertise to potential clients, only his best work goes into your project.

Finding the Right Contractor

There are at least three sources for finding a qualified building contractor in your area: word-of-mouth references from people that have recently had a similar project done, local licensing authorities who provide a list of contractors with appropriate building contractor license, and Internet web sites that make referrals. For instance, Canadian residents can visit www.handycanadian .com to locate a qualified contractor in their area. By following these simple steps, you can avoid a potential nightmare, and insure your project is a pleasant experience for all parties involved.
