Make sure you hire a licensed and accredited company that has great online reviews. Furthermore, ensure the basement specialist presents you with all his permits and certificates making certain he is legit and authorized to preform these jobs in your city.

Also make sure that the contractor has worker's comp insurance coverage for him and all other subcontractors, before consenting to get your basement remodeled or waterproofed.

Another thing to check out when choosing a basement contractor is the remodeling professional must have a portfolio of his work he has done in the past.

You shouldn't ever be forced into a contract, and if you feel that way, it should throw up a warning sign.
