It’s about more than just finding the lowest price when it comes to choosing the right contractor. Good communication will soon prove to be an important part of your working relationship, not to mention your trust in their abilities as a tradesman, particularly if it’s a large project.  1.	Ask for references At OptiGroup we encourage potential clients to talk to our previous customers about their satisfaction.  2.	Get two or three specific written bids Different contractors will vary widely on both the price level and the level of detail they’ll provide. Make sure you’re comparing apples with apples by giving each contractor the same details and requirements.  3.	Don’t automatically accept the lowest bid  It’s true – you get what you pay far.
