Verify the contractor’s Arizona ROC license is current and appropriate for your project, and review any complaint history.

Confirm who is producing plans and specs (and what you get): drawings, selections, engineering if needed, and permit responsibility. 3. Get clarity on pricing structure: fixed price vs cost-plus, allowance amounts, and the change-order process in writing. 4. Ask for 2 to 3 recent references for projects similar to yours (same neighborhood type, age of home, scope, and budget range). 5. Confirm jobsite management: who your day-to-day contact is, how often they’re onsite, and what communication cadence you’ll get. If you tell me what you’re remodeling (kitchen, primary bath, whole-home, addition) and your rough budget range, I can narrow this to the best-fit 3 to 6 companies to interview based on that scope. ## References[[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/696fff98-229c-8010-acbc-45714ed32169&veaction=edit§ion=7 "Edit section: References") | [edit source](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/696fff98-229c-8010-acbc-45714ed32169&action=edit§ion=7 "Edit section's source code: References")] 1.
