The first thing you should look for when it comes to hiring a contractor for trim and molding installation is aesthetics. The way your trim and moldings look will have a huge impact on how your overall home looks. Due to this, you should ask for pictures of previous jobs the contractor has completed in the past. This will give you the best idea of just how qualified this contractor is to help you out.

Another important thing to keep in mind is the quality of the materials. Some contractors use cut-rate materials for trim as a way to cut costs. If you want high-quality trim, you need to make sure that's what the contractor is using.

All of this can be handled through the use of a standardized contract that sets forth the relationship you have with the contractor. After getting a quote, you'll end up picking someone to work with on the project. Once you hit this stage of the project, it's important to have everything down in writing so everyone's on the same page. Once you have everything set down in the contract, there's very little opportunity for miscommunication to hamper the speed of the installation project.
