Kitchen renovations remain some of the most popular home improvement jobs. An updated kitchen often feels better, makes your home look and operate more effectively and can make your home more attractive to buyers. But kitchen remodeling is often a costly job, averaging around $150 per square foot of kitchen size, with most homeowners paying between $15,000 and $45,000 for a major job.

Because of this, hiring a reliable pro is essential. You want someone you can work smoothly with over a long period to get the best kitchen outcome for all sides. When hiring a kitchen contractor, ask these questions to ensure the best fit for your project.

1. Do you consistently work with their subcontractors?

The best remodelers usually have a reliable network of subcontractors to call on. When different groups work together regularly, that often makes jobs go more smoothly up front. If you have a particular contractor you‘d like to have on the job, ask how they’ll integrate into that process.
