5 TOP TIPS FOR FINDING THE PERFECT TRADIE
1. COMMUNICATION
Good first impressions matter. How a tradie communicates with you early on is a sure sign of how well they’ll work with you. You need someone who’s responsive, clear, and willing to answer your questions. Great communication ensures your reno runs smoothly.
2. QUALITY
Don’t be shy - ask for photos of recent work or even visit a job site if possible. If a tradie hesitates to show off their work, that’s a red flag. Quality speaks volumes, so make sure you’re happy with what you see. If your tradie has a problem with sharing their work or past projects... that’s a BIG red flag. #runforthehills!
3. CREDENTIALS
Always work with licensed and insured tradies. It’s your protection if something goes wrong. Ask to see their qualifications and relevant license - reliable tradies won’t mind showing you their paperwork. If they do, it’s probably best to look elsewhere!
4. PROFESSIONALISM
You’ll be spending a lot of time with your tradie, so make sure you feel comfortable with them in your home. If the answer is NO WAY, ROSÉ! strike them off the list quick smart!
5. PAYMENT
Before agreeing to anything, make sure you’ve nailed down payment details. This avoids any awkward surprises later on.
