• Code compliance and high design expectations require specialized skills and up-to-date practices.

• Referrals: Start with friends, neighbors, or your real estate agent who have had work done recently.
• Online Reviews: Focus on recent Google, Yelp, and Houzz reviews—look for patterns in praise or complaints.
• Local Showrooms/Supply Stores: They often collaborate with top contractors and can give recommendations.

Key Vetting Criteria for Dallas Bathroom Remodelers

1. Licenses and Insurance
   • Verify state and Dallas-mandated credentials. All contractors should be fully insured for liability and workers comp.
