After many years in the construction industry and working on large jobsites I have come to know what a good contractor is and what good contractor isn’t. I know what quality work looks like and can see where shortcuts have been taken. I have heard the catcalls, seen the gestures and felt the uncomfortable stares. For those reasons and many more Urban Referrals has adopted the policy to personally interview each one of our prospective contractors. I often meet them on site to get a feel for their respectfulness of privacy and property, quality of work, and to observe their staff. I call client and trade references to further our knowledge of the contractors work history, quality of work and payment history. Urban Referrals expects our contractors to meet our high standards when it comes to communication, customer service, and work ethic. We may ask to join 2 of every 10 contractors we meet with.
We look forward to connecting you with exceptional remodeling companies for all your home projects.

Hello all,
I am thrilled to announce we have live chat/support on our website .
Our goal is to answer questions visitors may have that will enable them to fill out our contactor referral request form and get connected to reliable and dependable home improvement companies in the DC metro area.
This feature is available during our business hours (Monday – Friday, 8 am – 5pm).
When the live chat feature is offline you can fill out three fields (name, email address and your questions) then click send. Someone from our team will receive an email and get in touch with you no later than one business day (in most cases very quickly)!
I hope our live chat is useful for all visitors to urbanreferrals.com.
Please try it out and let me know your thoughts.
Thanks and happy remodeling!

Happy Friday everyone. I’ve been working on a similar piece to this blog posting thus wanting to share it with you. The author lives in California, so some of the information is not useful to DC area residents however, some of the information iis important for anyone considering hiring a home improvement professional.
My goal is to always educate Urban Referrals’ customers, contractors and others about the importance of;
screening companies before they work in your home and the cheapest price for your home renovation project is NOT always the best way to go.
Your comments are always appreciated.
Best,
Marla
