Kitchen remodeling in Colorado
Contractor licensing and contract rules for a kitchen remodel in Colorado, what the trades earn, and the 20 places this guide covers, with 475,420 homes.
Licenses and contracts
Ask the contractor for the license or registration number they hold and the agency that issued it, then look the number up on that agency’s own site. Ask who will take out the building permit, and get the price, the payment schedule and the scope of work in writing before any money changes hands.
If the house was built before 1978, the firm has to be certified for lead-safe renovation by EPA.
