How to hire a contractor you can actually trust
A simple framework for vetting pros, comparing quotes, and avoiding the most common hiring mistakes.
By QOTA Team
<h2>Start with the scope, not the price</h2><p>Before you call anyone, write down exactly what you want done. A clear scope means apples-to-apples quotes and far fewer surprises mid-project.</p><h2>Always get three quotes</h2><p>One quote is a guess. Two is a comparison. Three is a market. With QOTA you can post once and get vetted pros bidding side by side.</p><h2>Check verification, not just reviews</h2><p>Reviews can be gamed. License, insurance, and ID verification can't. Look for the QOTA Verified badge before you commit.</p>
