How to choose well
- Licensing first. Use an independent inspector — not one tied to a contractor who'd benefit from finding (or hiding) defects.
- Book before renovation starts — renovating first can void your right to free rectification.
- Reviews with specifics beat star counts. Look for reviews that mention your job type and how problems were handled — not just "good service".
- Itemised quotes only. A lump-sum quote is where surprises hide. Line items let you compare fairly across companies.
- Never pay fully upfront. Deposit, progressive payments, and a retention until the work is done and checked.
