New construction or re-modeling projects can be exciting, but also intimidating. What to build? What permits

are required? How much will it cost? How can I protect myself? How can I find a contractor I can trust?

The Virginia Department of Occu-pation and Professional Regulation is a particularly useful resource in this area. Their detailed publication WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU HIRE A CONTRACTOR has excellent information from “Before You Begin” to “Planning” to “Bids” to “Contracts” to “What If Problems Occur?” The brochure is available on-line. Simply search for that title.

Finding a Reliable Contractor Probably the most important part of

any project is finding a trustworthy con-tractor. There are several strategies. One of the best: ask friends or neighbors who have dealt with various contractors for feedback and recommendations.

If possible, view other projects the contractors have completed and speak with the clients. Are they satisfied over-all with the project? Was it completed in a timely way? Was the contractor easy to contact and work with? Were the workers competent and polite (es-

pecially if they will be working inside your home)? Was the project kept as tidy as possible with other parts of the dwelling protected from dirt and debris? Were the terms of the contract fulfilled?

Ideally you also want a local con-tractor who has been in business for a while and one who has worked on projects similar to the one you are planning. Check with the Better Busi-ness Bureau (BBB) about complaints against any contractors you are eval-uating. Although the BBB doesn’t en-dorse any services or businesses as a matter of policy, some businesses pay a fee to become BBB-accredited. This demonstrates they are committed to good practices, have met certain BBB standards, and are committed to make a good-faith effort to resolve any con-sumer complaints.

Check the contractor’s credentials such as license number at: www.dpor.virginia.gov or (804) 367-8511. Not only does the license indicate the con-tractor has the necessary knowledge and experience to deliver good work, but when you contract with a licensed contractor, you may become eligible to receive compensation from the Con-tractor Transaction Recovery Fund in case of improper or dishonest conduct.

These days a web search on a specific business may find comments, reviews, or complaints at sites such as Yelp or Angie’s List. (Be skeptical about a sin-gle posting on any website and never rely on postings on the contractors’ own websites.)

You also want to be certain that work-ers are fully insured by the contractor.

Seeking a Bid or EstimateTake time to plan exactly what you

want done because this will help con-tractors make accurate bids or estimates. A list to hand to prospective builders might include items such as the size of the project, the type of exterior or inte-rior finish you want, window styles and sizes, cabinetry desired, plumbing needs, lighting fixtures, and other details. If there is an important time frame, this should also be made clear.

Do you want to engage each con-tractor yourself or do you want a gener-al contractor who will arrange for extra tasks such as electrical, tile, plumbing, gutters, masonry or other portions of the job? If you are handy and can do portions of the project yourself, see if a potential contractor is willing to work this way to lower your cost.

Once you have found several con-tractors with good reputations that you feel comfortable with it’s time for

the bottom line—comparing costs. It’s not always easy to compare the figures you may be given. Some people don’t go for the very lowest figures if they find they really prefer one contractor.

To help with the process, decide what kind of contract you are seeking so you can compare apples to apples. Generally, contracts are either fixed-price proposals which are usually called bids, or estimates for time and materials.

What is a bid? A fixed-price proposal, also known

as a bid, guarantees that certain work will be accomplished for a specific price. If it is accepted, it is generally le-gally binding on both parties.

For example, a bid might read: “Screened porch to be installed over existing decking with screening un-derneath, one screened door to exist-ing deck, one door with double-paned glass into house. Roof, paint, and gut-ters to match existing house. No elec-trical or plumbing work. Contractor responsible for all permits, inspections, and removal of debris.” A specific cost would be included.

With a bid, the cost will not be more than the bid unless the actual work is changed or different materials substi-tuted. Such adjustments would be de-tailed in a “change order” agreed upon by both parties such as an upgrade to a counter-top or changing to more expensive windows, tile, or flooring. Change orders can also lower the final cost if the homeowner decides on less expensive options.

In a competitive bid situation, be sure contractors are bidding on the same thing by being very specific on factors such as the quality and/or brand of lumber, flooring, roofing, fixtures, the amount of demolition or removal of previous walls, bathroom fixtures, or other extra tasks not nec-essarily related to actual construction.

Since fixed-price bids make it eas-ier to compare several contractors, many homeowners prefer the certain-ty of knowing there is a fixed cost for the project. A percentage of the cost is customarily paid according to “mile-stones” such as completion of founda-tion, completion of framing, and com-pletion of roof. Since these percentages are laid out in the contract, the home-owner knows exactly how much must be paid and when.

Contractors often prefer fixed-price bids. Although they must make a more thorough evaluation of the project at the start, they can also build in a sub-stantial “cushion” to cover unexpect-ed problems. This cushion, of course, becomes an additional profit for the

414 contractor (and extra cost for the

homeowner) if, for example, the job is completed ahead of schedule so there are lower labor costs.

What is an estimate?An estimate, also known as a Time

and Materials (T&M) contract, will usually itemize tasks and materials as line items. These will include general costs such as supervision, possibly in-surance costs, and obtaining permits and inspections. Then there also will be specific costs such as lumber, floor-ing, plumbing or lighting fixtures, roofing, windows, maybe even renting a portable toilet if that is required in your jurisdiction or you prefer work-men not use your facilities.

With a detailed T&M contract there may be hundreds of line-items to re-view and this can be overwhelming. On the other hand, it can make it easier to compare contractors by checking, for example, what each believes your plumbing expenses or the cost of in-stalling that bay window might be.

This is where it is particularly im-portant to be very specific in what ma-terials will be used. If there is a type of flooring or siding you expect or a brand of countertop, window, or roof-ing material you prefer, make sure this is stated in the estimate.

TOP 10 TIPS from the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupa-tional Regulation for making sure your construction con-tractor measures up.

1. Hire only licensed contractors.

2. Check contractor’s license status at www.dpor.virginia.gov or (804) 367-8511.

3. Contact three references and review past work.

4. Get at least three written bids.

5. Insist on a detailed written contract and do not sign anything until you complete-ly understand the terms.

6. Limit your down payment to 30 percent of the total cost.

7. Do not let payments get ahead of work.

8. Do not pay 100 percent of the bill until the job is 100 percent complete and you are satisfied with the work.

9. Do not pay cash. Keep records of payments.

10. Keep a job file of all papers relating to your project.

Usually, an estimate doesn’t have a “cushion” in its figures, so homeown-ers are billed only for actual hours and materials. As the project progresses, the homeowner is usually required to pay by “milestones,” but may not know ahead of time what the cost will be. Some contractors will keep a docu-ment comparing the estimate and the actual items billed. This will provide a running total.

With a T&M contract, the homeown-er is paying what is actually spent to complete a project. On the other hand, because there is no fixed price, costs may exceed the estimate. This is when careful assessment of the reputations of various contractors can be very important.

Combination contractIn some cases, contractors will write

a contract combining various aspects of the fixed-price and T&M contracts. For example, a T&M contract could be written with a maximum price. In some cases, the contract is written so that if the final project is completed for less than that maximum price, the contrac-tor and the client share the difference, making it a win-win for both parties.

Once you’ve signed a contract.Once you’ve signed a contract, be

sure you can contact the contractor easily by phone, cell, and/or email. You might want to set a time each day or ev-

ery other day to touch base. Be sure the contractor can contact you quickly in case of an unexpected problem. Con-sider posting contact numbers at the project in case workers need to contact you in an emergency when the manag-er isn’t present.

Ensure the contractor knows the shutoffs for water, gas, and electrical service to the house. In some cases there may be more than one shutoff for water. Discuss the storage of materials when they have been delivered.

Especially if you will not be home while workers are there, agree on mea-sures for securing your home, ensur-ing the safety and comfort of any pets home while workers are there, limiting noise or problems for neighbors, and protecting your home and yard from damage. Agree whether workers may use your bathroom or refrigerator. Some homeowners find that a clip-board, pad of paper, and a pencil on a string are very useful for questions, comments, and suggestions that are not immediately time-sensitive. n

When Marilyn Pribus and her husband added a screened porch to their Albemar-le County home, they interviewed four contractors before engaging Roy Kidd, a well-recommended individual who had com-pleted work for several neighbors. They were able to save money by doing the painting themselves and they love their porch.

Being able to jump into a back-yard pool during the summer is a wonder-ful perk for many people, especially if you have children on summer vacation and family and friends who come for the occasional cook-out.

In-ground pools can be lovely ad-ditions, however they are expensive to install and maintain and they are definitely permanent. Above-ground pools, on the other hand, are easily in-stalled (and uninstalled) and easier to maintain.

In many cases, above-ground pools can be set up in a single day by the buy-er and some helpers. However, connec-tions for the pool pump and its electri-cal source may take extra time and you might need to engage an electrician to be sure the system adheres to local pool codes.

This ease of installation is import-ant for several reasons. Some people choose to store above-ground pools away at the end of the season. In oth-er cases, they may decide to move it to

a different place in the yard. And it’s ideal for renters who have an option to sell it or take it along when they move.

While in-ground pools are generally fenced—because of local safety codes or because responsible owners want

to protect pets and children—the high sides of above-ground pools are a nat-ural barrier once ladders are removed.

Winterizing is easy, too, because there are no underground plumbing connections. If the above-ground pool is left up during the winter, it’s simply a case of draining the pump, adding extra chemicals, and covering the pool.

Another financial benefit is that, unlike an in-ground pool, an above-ground pool is not a permanent im-provement, hence it won’t increase the property’s assessment and raise prop-erty taxes

Installing An Above-Ground PoolAbove-ground pools come in many

sizes and prices. A quick Internet search finds a 9-foot diameter pool for around $600 and an 18 x 45-foot oval pool around $5,000. (These are pool-only prices and don’t include filter, pump, installation, and other costs.)

Basically, an above-ground pool consists of vertical sides that sup-port a vinyl liner. These liners come in different qualities and colors. In many cases, an area must be cleared for the pool. Often, a layer of sand is laid to make a firm, level area for the bottom. Some people choose to sink the above-ground pool a foot or more into the ground, making the sides less obtrusive.

Larger pools often have buttressed sides to withstand the pressure of the water. Buttress-free pools are designed to work without those external sup-ports and so take up less space.

Although such pools aren’t per-manent, there still may be local reg-ulations to be aware of. For example, you may not be able to install the pool under power or telephone lines, and it may have to be a certain distance from a lot line. The power source and the pool pump are very likely to have re-quirements.

Making An Above-Ground Pool An Integral Part Of The Yard

Some people choose to conceal the typical metal sides of an above-ground pool with siding of some sort such as lattice or wooden facings. Others use plantings around the outside of the pool to hide the sides, but be careful that roots don’t interfere with the liner. A perimeter of gravel or rock—smooth enough not to hurt bare feet—can be a nice touch, since chemically treated pool water can be tough on plants.

In many cases, a deck at or just slightly above the pool’s surface can be an attractive way to integrate the pool into the design of the yard. If you have an existing deck, consider installing the pool in a place where the deck can be extended to provide space for pool-side lounging or dining. Add colorful umbrellas or build a pergola or roof for shade.

If you opt for decking, seek guidance on the best materials to use—in this case, you probably don’t want wood, since splashed water with pool chem-icals can be tough to handle. Consider instead one of the newer materials be-ing used more and more by people who prefer longer-lasting decks without the maintenance required by wood. Stur-dy, low-maintenance alternatives are available in many colors and textures and include all-plastic decking or plas-tic-and-fiber composites which often include recycled materials. n

Marilyn Pribus and her husband moved to Albemarle County near Charlottesville almost eight years ago. They miss the in-ground pool they had in California, but not the maintenance and property taxes.
