Colorado: Boulder Metro | Five Star Rated by evercommerce

Discover our five points of quality

Five Star Rated is different from the average home services guide. We do the research for you and focus on the truly important things you need to feel confident in your selection. Each Five Star Rated company is measured against our five points of quality, and only those who meet our qualification standards earn the privilege of being listed in this guidebook.

Quality you can count on

Homeowners in your local area have consistently chosen the highly rated companies featured here as among the very best in their respective service categories.

Certified Pros Nationwide

State Corporation Search

We confirm that all selected companies structured as S Corporations, C Corporations, or Limited Liability Companies have a current and active record in compliance with the state. The one exception would be sole proprietorships not required to register with the state.

Business Credit Reports

We generate a credit report on every new company considered for participation. We look for basic but critical company information including but not limited to bankruptcy history, liens or judgments history, a credit history score, and charting histories, which may indicate the level of operational stability of the company.

Professional Trade and/or State Licenses

We verify that each company listed is licensed per state requirements for the trade they are practicing business in. In some states, a license is not needed unless the contractor is working in two or more fields as defined by the state.

State-Required Insurance

All featured companies must carry General Liability and Workers’ Compensation Insurance as required by the state.

Customer Reviews

We quality-check every company’s performance with their customers by conducting in-house customer satisfaction surveying or analyzing their prior three years of Google reviews. Companies can use our survey feedback to learn about their performance.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers:

1. Carpet cleaning frequency depends on various factors, including level of foot traffic and presence or absence of pets. Scheduling carpet cleaning at least every nine to twelve months is recommended.

Common Services & Products Provided:

• Carpet cleaning

• Upholstery cleaning

• Rug cleaning

• Carpet repair

• Carpet stretching

• Stain removal

• Odor removal and control

• Fabric and fiber protection

• Drapery cleaning and freshening

• Hard-surface floor cleaning, buffing, and sealing

2. To keep your carpets clean between professional cleanings, use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter, place walk-off mats at your home’s entrances, and regularly change your HVAC filter so less dust circulates and settles in carpets.

3. Pet accidents are most effectively cleaned by a professional carpet and upholstery cleaning company. As a short-term fix, you can use a mixture of one part white vinegar to two parts water. Lightly spray the area with the mixture and use a white colorfast towel to blot the area. Continue the process until the smell is reduced.

4. If your wall-to-wall carpet has bumps and wrinkles, ask your carpet cleaning professional about restretching services.

5. Make sure to mention all problem spots and stains you want cleaned so the contractor can provide an accurate estimate.

Licensing Requirements:

Companies are required to hold an Electrical Contractor License issued by the Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers:

• Troubleshooting

• Maintenance

• Whole-house surge protection

• Generator installation

• Outlet, switch, and fan installation

• Lighting installation

• Electrical panel replacements and upgrades

• Safety inspections

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:

2. If you own an older home, you may want an electrician to examine your system to catch any safety issues. Your electrical system may not be properly grounded, for instance, or you may need a larger main panel.

3. If your breakers trip frequently, outlets emit a burning odor or strange noises, or lights flicker at random, call an electrician to take a look for underlying issues.

4. The US Fire Administration recommends testing your smoke detectors once a month, replacing the batteries once a year, and replacing smoke detector units every ten years or when they no longer function when tested.

5. Ask your electrical contractor about standby generators if you live in an area that commonly experiences storms or power outages or if someone in your home relies on medical equipment.

1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

Flooring Contractors

Licensing Requirements:

The state of Colorado does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category. Cities in Colorado may require local licensing for specialty work.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers:

1. View flooring samples in as large a size as possible and under a variety of lighting conditions at home. This will help you choose the best option for your home decor.

Common Services & Products Provided:

• Conventional and engineered hardwood flooring

• Tile, stone, luxury vinyl, and laminate flooring

• Carpet installation and stretching

• Flooring installation and repair

• Hardwood sanding and refinishing

• Stairway updates

• Flooring sales and installation

• Area rug sales, repair, and refurbishing

2. A damaged subfloor can compromise the flooring material installed over it. It is important to fix any subfloor issues before installing new flooring to avoid problems in the future and to ensure the flooring lasts a long time.

3. Vinyl flooring is a good option for areas prone to getting wet, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms, because it is low-maintenance and resistant to mold and mildew. Tile, stone, and grout needs to be resealed approximately every four years but is otherwise low maintenance.

4. Flooring can have a big impact on a home’s resale value. Consider your return on investment when choosing a new floor covering, as well as your lifestyle and the level of care required for different flooring types.

5. Reduce wear on hardwood floors with floor mats and rugs. Also use felt protectors or furniture coasters on furniture legs to prevent dents and scratches.

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:

1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers:

1. Signs of foundation damage include vertical and horizontal cracks in foundation walls, drywall cracks near doors and windows, unlevel floors, windows or doors sticking, cracks in exterior brick veneer, settled or uneven basement floors, and cracks in garage slabs.

Common Services & Products Provided:

• Foundation repair

• Pier systems

• Wall anchor systems

• Basement waterproofing

• Crawl space repair and encapsulation

• Moisture control service

• Humidity control systems

• Foundation drainage systems

• Concrete lifting

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:

2. The following conditions can cause foundations to settle, crack, and bow: extremely dry weather, which causes the soil to shrink and contract; and wet weather, which causes the soil to expand and create pressure.

3. All foundation repair, moisture, and waterproofing problems should be addressed before selling a home. If left unresolved, they can severely limit your ability to sell your home.

4. If you discover a water intrusion issue somewhere in your home, it should be addressed as soon as possible. Typically, the problem will not get better and most likely will get worse and more expensive over time.

5. Mold, mildew, and allergens are a concern in basements. Moisture and dampness issues must be fixed before remediation can begin.

1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

3. Companies cannot buy their way into the guidebooks; Five Star Rated is invite-only.

Expert Tip

Compare Multiple Estimates: Secure at least three detailed written estimates for large projects. This helps you compare apples-toapples and select the contractor that best fits your budget and project scope.

Licensing Requirements:

Companies are required to hold an Electrical Contractor License issued by the Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations. Gas line work requires a Plumbing Contractor License issued by the Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations.

Common Services & Products Provided:

• Standby generator sales

• Standby generator installation, maintenance, repair, and replacement

• Generator switches and accessories

• Remote generator monitoring

Top 5 Tips for Consumers:

1. Before you buy a generator, think carefully about what you’ll need to power if your electricity goes out. That list of essential items and appliances will help you choose a generator that’s the right size for your needs.

2. A standby or whole-house generator typically uses either natural gas or propane to power the engine that creates electricity. Standby generators turn on automatically when the power goes out, even if you aren’t home during the outage.

3. Whole-house generators must be professionally installed. They rely on a transfer switch that transfers electricity from the public utility to your home and back again. If this switch is incorrectly installed, electricity can backfeed into the utility lines and electrocute a utility worker.

4. Generators must be installed and used well away from covered spaces where carbon monoxide could build up. A generator professional will know the safest place for your new generator.

5. Routine maintenance ensures that your generator works when you need it. Have your standby generator serviced every 6 to 12 months.

Licensing Requirements:

The state of Colorado does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category. Cities in Colorado may require local licensing for specialty work.

Common Services & Products Provided:

• Gutter installation and replacement

• Gutter cover installation

• Gutter guard installation

• Downspout installation and replacement

• Specialty accessories and product options, such as ice reduction systems for gutters, downspout extenders, rain chains, splash blocks, and extended gutter and downspout diameter options

Top 5 Tips for Consumers:

1. Gutters and downspouts direct water away from your home, protecting the soil, foundation, roof, and siding. Faulty, damaged, or improperly installed gutters can lead to basement water damage, foundation issues, soil erosion, roof leaks, fascia and soffit damage, and other problems.

2. When gutters are clogged, the rainwater runoff over the gutters can cause soil erosion around the foundation of the home and contribute to potential foundation and waterproofing problems.

3. Standard gutters that have no gutter cover system installed can sag or pull away from the roof due to the weight from clogs and debris buildup.

4. Don’t wait until you have overflowing gutters or water intrusion to have your gutters replaced or repaired or to have gutter covers installed. This can lead to expensive repairs, most notably wood rot repair, house foundation issues, and possible termite damage.

5. Gutters come in different shapes and sizes. K-style is the most common gutter shape, and box gutters and half-round gutters are also available. Typically, gutters come in five- and six-inch sizes.

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:

1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

Handyman Contractors

Licensing Requirements:

The state of Colorado does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category. Cities in Colorado may require local licensing for specialty work.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers:

1. Before reaching out to a handyman company, outline the details of your project, including what you want done and when it needs to be completed. Providing this information to the handyman company will help them create a more accurate estimate.

Common Services & Products Provided:

• Many small and medium home improvement jobs

• Carpentry, wood rot repair, drywall repair, and trim repair

• Painting

• Door and window installation and repair

• Weather stripping

• Lock sets

• Floor and wall tile installation and repair

• Caulking

• Grout installation and repair

• Fixture replacement and installation

• Aging-in-place and accessibility modifications

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:

2. Ask handyman companies how their jobs are priced. Some handyman contractors charge jobs per hour, and some will quote a flat per-project price.

3. Discuss the materials needed to complete the work and make sure you know who is responsible for providing these materials. If the handyman contractor provides them for you, there may be an additional pick-up fee.

4. Are you planning to sell your house soon? Before you put your house on the market, a handyman company can likely take care of small updates recommended by your real estate agent.

5. If your home needs modifications for agingin-place purposes or to increase accessibility, a handyman company can take care of those updates.

1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

Licensing Requirements:

The state of Colorado does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category. Cities in Colorado may require local licensing for specialty work.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers:

Common Services & Products Provided:

• Heating and air conditioning services

• Equipment repair and replacement

• HVAC system and equipment installation

• Refrigerant recharging or refilling

• Maintenance agreements (typically for two maintenance calls per year, spring and fall)

• Thermostats

• Furnaces

• Humidifiers and dehumidifiers

1. Regular maintenance is key to ensuring that your system does not fail at a crucial time of year, when temperatures are very cold or hot. Ask if the company offers maintenance plans, and if so, find out what is included. Typically, an HVAC maintenance plan includes two maintenance appointments per year, one in the spring and one in the fall. There are often additional perks and services, such as discounts and priority service, offered as part of the plan as well.

2. Programmable thermostats can help you save money on your energy bill. If no one is home during the day, thermostats can be set to automatically adjust the temperature to use less energy while the house is empty.

3. The right HVAC system size is key to efficiently heating and cooling your home.

4. Inquire about how the company handles billing. Can you pay online, over the phone, or by check?

5. Ask for information regarding the warranties offered by the company on the services they offer, including both repair and installation work. Get all warranty information in writing.

Painting Contractors

Licensing Requirements:

The state of Colorado does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category. Cities in Colorado may require local licensing for specialty work.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers:

1. Make sure the job will include the proper prep work. Good prep work will result in a longer-lasting paint job. Primer and paint should be applied to clean, smooth surfaces.

Common Services & Products Provided:

• Interior and exterior painting

• Color consultations

• Carpentry and wood repair

• Drywall repair

• Cabinet painting

• Faux and decorative finishes

• Wallpaper installation and removal

• Popcorn ceiling removal

• Garage floor painting

• Fence and deck painting and staining

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:

2. Make sure that the estimates you consider are in writing and include the same scope of work and materials so you can compare apples to apples. Check the quality of the paint included in the estimate and the number of coats proposed.

3. Choose a paint sheen that fits the space being painted. Shinier paint finishes have more durability and are easy to clean. High gloss is suitable for kitchens, window trim, and doors. Semigloss finishes are good for kitchens, trim, and bathrooms. Eggshell works well in dining and living spaces, and matte finishes are suitable for lowtraffic areas such as bedrooms.

4. If you are not sure what color or colors you want to use, ask for a color consultation. Your painting contractor will be able to help you choose a color or color scheme that suits your home decor.

5. Quality is key. Cheaper paints require more coats to get the same result as higher-quality paints.

1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

3. Companies cannot buy their way into the guidebooks; Five Star Rated is invite-only.

Licensing Requirements:

Companies are required to hold a Plumbing Contractor License issued by the Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers:

1. Locate your main water shutoff valve to the whole house. This is helpful to know so you can turn off the water supply completely in case of emergency situations such as in-home flooding or a major leak.

Common Services & Products Provided:

• General plumbing installation, replacement, maintenance, and repairs

• Plumbing remodeling services

• Water heaters

• Toilets, faucets, and fixtures

• Garbage disposals

• Drain cleaning

• Water and sewer line repair and replacement

• Septic services

• Sump pumps

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:

2. Use cold water when the garbage disposal is operating. You can clean your disposal by grinding ice cubes. When your disposal needs a little freshening, grind some lemon peels in it.

3. Many types of clogs can be avoided by using common sense. Do not pour grease down the kitchen sink, and do not wash coffee grounds down the sink. Use chemical cleaners only when necessary. Do not flush larger items such as feminine hygiene products down the toilet.

4. Thousands of people are scalded by tap water every year. The Gas Appliance Manufacturers Association recommends that the highest hot water temperature at the faucet be set between 120 and 125 degrees Fahrenheit.

5. When it’s time to upgrade to new plumbing fixtures, look for ENERGY STAR-certified products that conserve water and energy consumption.

1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

Expert Tip

Gather Technical Information: Keep model and serial numbers easily accessible. Take photos of the issue before the technician arrives to provide visual context.

Licensing Requirements:

The state of Colorado does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category. Cities in Colorado may require local licensing for specialty work.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers:

1. Hire a roofing installation and repair company that uses high-quality materials from name-brand manufacturers that provide extended warranties on their products.

Common Services & Products Provided:

• Roof installation and replacement

• Roof repair and maintenance

• Fascia and soffit repair

• Roof inspections

• Storm damage assessments

• Asphalt shingle roofs

• Metal roofs

• Tile roofs

• Flat roofs

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:

2. Weather is a factor when replacing your roof. Ask the contractor to explain their procedure if stormy weather were to approach in the middle of the removal or installation of your roof.

3. Roof ventilation is critical. Without proper roof ventilation, hot air will become trapped in your attic and cause your HVAC system to work overtime. Roof replacement is the perfect time to improve inadequate ventilation.

4. Most roof leaks are caused by flashing that has failed or been improperly installed around chimneys, vent pipes, and skylights.

5. To protect your roof, try to minimize roof traffic. Sometimes other contractors may damage roofs while working on them. For example, do not allow a cleaning contractor to use any type of bracing on pitched roofs where they might nail into your roof, therefore compromising your roof with a puncture through the protective roofing barrier.

1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

3. Companies cannot buy their way into the guidebooks; Five Star Rated is invite-only.

Sewer & Drain Cleaning

Licensing Requirements:

Companies are required to hold a Plumbing Contractor License issued by the Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers:

1. Clogs are typically caused by food, hair, foreign objects, and grease. To avoid clogs, consider using strainers over your drains. Do not dispose of grease in drains. Additionally, so-called flushable wipes should not be flushed down the toilet.

Common Services & Products Provided:

• Sewer and drain cleaning

• Clog removal

• Rodding

• Hydro-jetting

• Water line repair and replacement

• Sewer line repair and replacement

• Trenchless sewer line repair

• Video camera inspections

• Root removal

• Repiping

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:

2. Hard water can cause buildup that clogs and corrodes your plumbing system. If your area has hard water, install a water softener system.

3. While chemical drain cleaners can effectively remove clogs, they can also damage pipes. Try using a drain snake or other alternative drain cleaning methods first, and if the problem persists, call a professional.

4. If your sinks are draining very slowly or gurgling noises are coming from your toilets, call a drain and sewer cleaning professional. These are potential signs of a sewer system problem.

5. If you own an older home built before the 1960s and 1970s, you may have sewer pipes made of clay tile. Clay-tile pipes are susceptible to tree root intrusion, and their lifespan is less than 50 years. Sewer pipes in homes constructed more recently are usually made of PVC.

1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

3. Companies cannot buy their way into the guidebooks; Five Star Rated is invite-only.

Siding Installation

Licensing Requirements:

The state of Colorado does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category. Cities in Colorado may require local licensing for specialty work.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers:

1. Signs that you need to replace your siding include warped planks, rotten areas, holes, bubbling paint, and persistent mold or mildew growth.

Common Services & Products Provided:

• Siding installation

• Siding replacement

• Vinyl and insulated vinyl siding

• Fiber cement siding

• Engineered wood siding

• Cedar siding

• Exterior home remodeling and renovation

2. Before contacting a contractor to discuss your siding job, think about what type of siding product you would like for your home. For inspiration, look at the types and styles of siding traditionally used in your neighborhood or city. You can also visit home centers and look through the siding materials on display.

3. Find out if your homeowners’ association has restrictions on siding materials, styles, and colors. The homeowners’ association may also have guidelines about remodeling projects that you and the contractor will need to follow.

4. Hire a siding company that uses high-quality materials from name-brand manufacturers with extended warranties.

5. Siding installation involves hammering and nailing and can be a little disruptive. Before your siding project begins, take down art and wall hangings from interior walls and move furniture away from the walls.

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:

1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

Tip Understand Service Protocols: Confirm followup procedures, warranty details, and any guarantees before the technician leaves. Know exactly what’s covered and what isn’t.

Licensing Requirements:

The state of Colorado does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category. Cities in Colorado may require local licensing for specialty work.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers:

1. Opting for a solar panel system can save you anywhere from 20 to 100 percent on your electricity costs compared to traditional power sources.

Common Services & Products Provided:

• Solar panel system design

• Solar panel system installation

• Solar batteries

• Real-time solar panel system monitoring

2. The design and size of a solar panel system is largely dependent on the space you have available for solar panels. You will also need to think about how much energy you need the system to generate.

3. When your solar panel system produces a surplus of energy, that extra electricity feeds back into the municipal grid. Net metering, also called utility buy-back, is an arrangement that credits you for the retail value of the surplus electricity generated by your solar panel system. Check on your state’s specific policies regarding net metering.

4. You may be able to receive Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) after your system is installed and producing energy. Ask your solar panel system installer whether you’re eligible.

5. Your state may offer other financial incentives for solar panel system installations, such as property tax breaks or exemptions and/or sales and use tax waivers.

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:

1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

3. Companies cannot buy their way into the guidebooks; Five Star Rated is invite-only.

4. All Five Star Rated companies must carry general liability insurance as well as workers’ compensation insurance when required by their state.

5. Homeowners can register for the Five Star Guarantee to ensure a great experience.

Licensing Requirements:

The state of Colorado does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers:

1. Wildlife removal can be dangerous, so don’t try to take care of the problem by yourself. Always call a professional to handle the issue. They have the knowledge, equipment, and protective gear to do the job safely.

Common Services & Products Provided:

• Animal control services

• Wildlife removal

• Wildlife management

• Exclusion services and repairs

• Removal and control of birds, rats, squirrels, snakes, bats, opossums, raccoons, skunks, coyotes, foxes, gophers, and more

• Dead animal removal

• Space deodorization

• Insulation removal and replacement

• General pest control

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member:

2. Be sure to find out what animals the company handles and ask if they provide emergency animal removal service.

3. Not all wildlife removal and pest control strategies involve chemicals; traps, exclusion repairs, and natural pesticides are more humane options used by many animal control companies.

4. Ask the wildlife control company what methods are used to remove or control animal issues and if they use eco-friendly or pet- and child-safe products.

5. Once the animal has been removed, it is important to seal the entry points they used so more pests do not enter the home. These exclusion repairs are essential to resolving the problem. Your technician should perform an inspection to determine the pest’s point of entry, identify other potential points of entry, and recommend methods to prevent reentry of other unwanted pests in the future.

1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

3. Companies cannot buy their way into the guidebooks; Five Star Rated is invite-only.

Licensing Requirements:

The state of Colorado does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category. Cities in Colorado may require local licensing for specialty work.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers:

1. If you have a limited budget, consider replacing the windows on your upper floors first.

2. Ask your contractor about the differences between wood, vinyl, or aluminum cladding for your windows and doors.

Common Services & Products Provided:

• Door installation and replacement

• Window installation and replacement

• Energy-efficient windows and doors

• Impact or storm windows and doors

• Vinyl, fiberglass, steel, aluminum, wood, and engineered wood windows

• Sliding glass, patio, and French doors

• Entryway and interior doors

• Wood, insulated steel, and fiberglass doors

3. Adding weather stripping around windows and doors has a big impact on drafts and energy conservation. Caulking door thresholds and windows and adding plastic window film can save you money in the winter.

4. Windows and doors are the areas of greatest energy loss in a home. By installing new windows and doors, it may be possible to increase energy efficiency in your home by up to 70 percent. Ask your contractor which manufacturers and/or brands they recommend and why.

5. A small deposit is reasonable for custom-order materials, such as custom-sized windows, as they will only work in each individual home and ensures a commitment to the contractor that you will complete the project and that the contractor will not be left with a warehouse full of custom materials.

How to Pick a Great Home Services Provider

Regular maintenance is a reality of home ownership. And while you might be able to handle some things on your own, other tasks are best left to the pros. But finding reliable help when you need it is easier said than done.

Check out our simple tips for finding the best service professional for any home-related need.

Ask for recommendations.

The easiest way to start is to ask neighbors, family members, and friends for their recommendations. Word-of-mouth recommendations speak volumes about a company’s work and reputation. After all, you’re hearing from people with first-hand experience!

Search social media.

Social media sites shouldn’t be your only source of information when it comes to finding a good contractor, but they can be a valuable resource.

Search for the companies on your list and check their social media feeds for customer testimonials. You might also find photographs of the company’s workmanship.

Research your choices.

Look online for the following about each contractor on your list:

1. Qualifications. Make sure that the company you hire has plenty of experience in the type of work you need to have done. A company that has been in business for decades is great, but don’t automatically write off companies that are newly established. Their staff members might have years of industry experience.

2. Certifications. Not all home improvement jobs require specific trade certifications, but it doesn’t hurt to ask. Certifications typically mean extra training or education, and that’s never a bad thing.

3. Licenses. Most states require contractors performing major home improvement or renovation work to hold a license. A company that doesn’t have its state- or county-required licenses is waving a red flag that you shouldn’t ignore. In fact, many homeowners’ insurance carriers will deny damage claims resulting from work performed by an unlicensed contractor.

4. Bonding. A company that is bonded has an extra layer of accountability if you need to file a claim against them. A bonded company has access to money that will go directly to you if something goes amiss with the job and you file a claim.

5. Insurance. Any company doing work at your house should have active general liability insurance coverage. Depending on your state, the company might also be required to have workers’ compensation insurance.

How to Pick a Great Home Services Provider

6. Areas of specialization. Doing home improvement and renovation work well takes a lot of skill and experience. If the job is detail oriented or specialized, that skill and experience is even more important. Be sure to ask whether the company has experience with jobs similar to yours.

7. Professionalism. Everyone wants to be treated with respect, especially when large sums of money are involved. Skim the company’s online reviews. How do they respond to negative or neutral feedback? How does the company handle your calls or emails? These details will give you valuable insight into the company’s professionalism.

8. Assurance and guarantees. A guarantee can help you feel more at ease with a company, and it speaks volumes about the company’s confidence in the quality of their work.

Most of this information is available online, usually on the company’s website. For details you can’t immediately locate, a quick phone call can usually help fill in any gaps.

Use a verified directory and online reviews.

Look for unbiased customer reviews in independent business directories like Five Star Rated. Online home improvement forums and review websites are helpful, too.

Avoid sites that let companies buy highly rated reviews. This practice is unethical, but it does happen. Watch for several extremely positive reviews posted on the same day following a negative review. Lots of good reviews that sound similar are also a red flag.

Doing all of this takes time, but when you’re planning a home improvement project, it’s well worth it. But if you’re in a time crunch, a trusted company directory like Five Star Rated is priceless.

With a verified company directory, you have all the information you need to make an informed decision at a glance: the company’s contact information, the services they offer, and testimonials from verified customers.

Spring

Turn your outside spigots back on and remove their insulating covers. Check each spigot to make sure it’s secure and doesn’t leak, and give your garden hose a once-over to check for cracks.

Have your gutters cleaned. Make sure downspouts are still attached and directed away from your house and foundation.

Schedule a routine HVAC maintenance appointment. Clear away any debris from around the outside condenser unit. Also test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and replace their batteries.

Have your lawn service aerate your yard and spread pre-emergent for weed control. Now is the time to prune trees, shrubs, and bushes.

Inspect the outside of your house for siding cracks or holes, peeling paint, and failing sealant or caulk. Repair and replace as needed.

With a regular garden hose and mild soap or detergent, wash away the dirt and grime from the outside of your house. Remove and wash window screens.

If you have a sump pump, have it serviced to ensure that it works correctly.

Summer

Water your lawn and landscaping regularly. Aim for early-morning hours to minimize water evaporation in the heat.

Stain and seal your wood fence and deck. Be sure to pressure wash them first so the stain will last longer and look nicer over time.

Set your ceiling fans to turn counterclockwise. This creates a breezy downdraft, which can help you use the air conditioning less.

For more tips, visit FiveStarRated.com

Fall

Fall is the time to overseed your lawn and plant perennials. Your work now will have a big payoff come springtime.

Get in the habit of raking leaves (or mowing over them with your lawnmower) periodically so they don’t build up and smother the grass.

Have the gutters cleaned in late fall, after the bulk of the leaves have fallen. Fall is also a good time to have your roof inspected.

Schedule your second annual HVAC system maintenance appointment. Your technician should ensure the heat works and that all components are in safe working order.

If you’ve noticed drafts coming from the windows or doors, seal any gaps with caulk or weatherstripping. This will cut down on heat loss through the winter.

Have your dryer vent inspected and cleaned. Accumulated lint is a serious fire hazard.

If you have a fireplace, have it and the chimney professionally inspected and, if necessary, cleaned. This is important regardless of whether your fireplace is gas or wood burning.

Winter

Drain your outdoor water spigots, and then shut off the water to them. Cover the faucets with insulating covers. Drain your garden hose and store it indoors.

Test all your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and replace their batteries.

Make sure you’re ready for snow and cold temperatures. Test your snow blower and dig out the snow shovel.
