Local notes for Connecticut
A few state‑specific considerations to keep in mind while you compare quotes and providers:
- Older housing stock: older homes can hide surprises (lathe/plaster, uneven framing). Ask for a written scope and a change‑order process.
- Seasonal weather: exterior work may need weather windows. Ask about timeline flexibility and materials suited for seasonal swings.
- Permits & licensing: some electrical/plumbing/structural work may require a licensed specialist and/or permit. When in doubt, ask.

FAQ
Why do quotes vary so much?
Scope and site conditions vary. Access, urgency, materials, hidden issues, and permit/inspection needs can change pricing. (Guidance may vary by city/county in Connecticut.)
Hourly or flat‑rate—what’s better?
Flat‑rate can be simpler for defined scopes; hourly can work well for a longer punch list. Ask for clear assumptions either way.
How can I avoid surprise charges?
Ask what triggers changes, require approval for change orders, and request a written scope with exclusions.
