If you have made the decision to hire a contractor to complete any home improvement project I would recommend they meet the following minimum qualification(s)

1. Make sure they are licensed in the field they work in
2. Make sure they have insurance $1M minimum
3. Make sure you can work with their demeanor...If you have a Type A personality dont hire a laid back non chalant contractor 
4. Make sure the estimates and/or proposals are written and cover the scope of work in detail
5. Hire the right person for the right task...dont ask a carpentar to replace your electrical panel.
6. Never pay 100% of contract price, agree upon a payment schedule i.e. 33% down at signing, 33% at project start and remaining balance to be paid upon substansial completion.
