It’s important to know how to find the right contractor and to know the right questions you need to ask. But here’s the problem: You leave no paper trail, which puts you — not your contractor — in a vulnerable position. They just want to know that you’re serious about the job and that you’re going to pay for the work they do. You want to know that they can do the job right, a million times, with their eyes closed, and that it lasts — and only time can tell you that. Watch Mike Holmes in his ­series, Holmes Makes It Right, on HGTV.
