Before Hiring a Contractor
- Contact City staff or visit the Cibolo City website to know the required paperwork, permits, and inspections. Lots of information pages and FAQs are available for reference.
- You can schedule an optional pre-design meeting with City staff. Depending on the project, they will review what is needed in the construction process. The contractor/designer is welcome to attend this meeting.
- Interview several contractors and compare several quotes before making a decision on who to hire.
- Investigate contractors - ask for references of prior projects. Contact Dun & Bradstreet / Better Business Bureau.
- Ask factual questions to the City of Cibolo on their work within the City. Examples: How many similar jobs have the contractor done in the City limits? Has the contractor ever not finished a job in Cibolo? Did the contractor submit all required paperwork to Cibolo staff (i.e. registration, permits).
- Get a written contract outlining work to be completed in detail along with the costs and payment plan.
- Make sure the contract clearly states the responsibility of both the owner and contractor.
- Do not pay in full upfront. Pay only for completed (approved) work. Make sure the payment schedule is documented in the contract.
- Upon completion of work, make the final agreed upon payment.
