When you’re in the process of hiring a contractor for your outdoor kitchen… There are a ton of things you have to consider!
It’s not just as simple as hiring whoever is local. An outdoor kitchen is a serious undertaking… You want to make sure the job is done properly. So, what do you need to look for?
Let’s discuss.
There are 10 primary tips to keep in mind when hiring a contractor. We won’t discuss them all here… So be sure to watch the video for all the details! First, cover your bases. Ensure that your contractor is licensed and insured. This may seem like a silly point… But you’d be surprised how many contractors don’t have these qualifications!
Next, consider the experience level of your contractor. An outdoor kitchen is a challenging project that requires specialized knowledge. If your contractor hasn’t completed many outdoor kitchen projects… There’s a large risk your kitchen won’t be constructed properly. This also rolls into the concept of a generalist vs a specialist.
It’s simply not worth hiring a contractor with a generalist skill set. You want to hire someone with intimate knowledge of outdoor kitchen construction. And of course… Remember to check the reviews! Customer feedback tells you a lot about the quality of your potential contractor.
If you’re seeing a ton of 1 star reviews… It’s probably not a good idea to hire them! Also be sure to seek out reviews specifically for outdoor kitchen construction. This will give you a sense of your potential contractor’s skill level. While there’s plenty more to know about hiring a contractor… You’ll just have to watch the video to learn the rest!
