When it’s time to make improvements to your home, you want to invest in projects that add both beauty and functionality. New shower doors can do both. Considering that more than 50% of houses in the U.S. were built before 1980, according to Today’s Homeowner, it’s probably time to update your shower doors. Let’s look at a few questions you might want to ask your shower door contractor before you start.

1. Do You Have References?

Of course, as with any contractor, you’ll want to see some examples of the contractor’s work before you decide to hire them. They should have pictures to show you of past jobs that they’ve completed. Make sure that the quality of their work is up to your standards.

2. Do You Provide Price Quotes?

You’ll also want to find out if they can provide you with a price quote. The price quote is important because it gives you a chance to get to know the contractor better and gives you an idea of how much your project will cost. Be sure to get the price quote in writing to avoid any kind of confusion going forward.

3. What Would Work Best in My Space?

One of the advantages of working with a professional is that they’ll be able to offer you expert advice on your project. Once the contractor comes out to do a price quote for you, you should find out what they think about your ideas and if they have any other suggestions for the space that might work better. They may also be able to recommend certain materials or methods that would work well in the space.

4. How Long Will the Project Take?

You will also want to find out how long the project will take. Since your bathroom will be inaccessible while they’re working, you need to know how to schedule for that. Fortunately, an expert provider will be able to give you a reasonable ballpark estimate, so you can plan accordingly.
