Find & Compare Remodeling Contractors in Your Area!

Remodeling contractors take an existing space apart and rebuild it: kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions, layout changes and whole-home renovations. They coordinate the trades — framing, plumbing, electrical, tile, cabinets — so the homeowner deals with one company. People come here with a project in mind and a budget they want to protect.

Licensing for remodelers ranges from a state contractor license to a home improvement registration to nothing at all, depending on where you live, so ask what applies and check it. The written contract carries most of the protection: a detailed scope, allowances for items not yet chosen, a payment schedule tied to finished milestones rather than dates, and a change-order process in writing. Ask who pulls permits and in whose name, who runs the site day to day, and whether they collect lien waivers from subcontractors. For new construction rather than renovation, see general contractors.

Each remodeling firm listed below submitted its own details, and a person approved them before publication. If you run renovation projects, apply to get listed — free, a few minutes, no obligation.
