If negative feedback is coming repeatedly in all the things then avoid them.
D)Contractor Credentials and Certifications:
Along with references and reviews, you should also keep an eye on their certifications while selecting them, whether they have any certification or training or not. In the field of construction, they must be properly trained and have some important certificates like “Remodeler” or “Certified Green Professional” for eco-friendly projects.

Pay attention to these evaluation tips as well.

You must meet and discuss with them face-to-face before making your final decision so that you can get a clear understanding of the contractor’s performance. You should be able to understand in detail whether you want to build the work or give it for construction.
B)Take Multiple Estimates:
Do not make your final decision after talking to the first contractor only. First, talk to 2 or 3 contractors so that you have complete information about the price and services and can decide. Remember that if any contractor is ready to do your work at a lower price, then stay away from all of them.
C)Check the contractor's insurance:
Make sure to check the contractor’s insurance and license to see if the contractor’s license is valid in your area. Also, check for important licenses like general liability insurance and workers’ compensation. All these things protect you from being held responsible in case of any accident or damage to the park.
D)Tell them your Clear Expectations:
After selecting the contractor, set clear expectations on how you want your work to be completed. Do not leave anything in complete detail like how much time will you take to complete my project, how much will it cost, what materials will be required and if there are any special requirements, discuss all these things properly and get everything written in a written contract.
