Statistics show that 75 per cent of Calgary homeowners plan on doing home improvements this year.

CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA, February 2, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- RenovationFind conducted a survey at the Calgary Renovation Show, January 13-15, 2017. The results showed that 75 per cent of home owners surveyed plan on embarking on a home renovation project in the next 12 months.

​Of those surveyed, 35 per cent will hire contractors to do the work while 34 per cent will do the work themselves. 30 per cent will combine doing some of the work themselves with hiring a contractor in Calgary for specific tasks.

“One of the most important questions on the survey was what people look for when hiring a general contractor or home improvement company,” said Keith Riley, founder of RenovationFind.com. “It wasn’t surprising to us to find out that the most important thing to homeowners was to find a contractor who was trustworthy. Second to that, what to find a contractor that did quality work.”

“Far too often we hear about consumers who have been ripped off by bad contractors or left with shoddy work, or even work unfinished which is why finding a company you can trust is so important” said Riley.
According to the survey, 36 per cent of homeowners have been personally ripped off from a renovation business or contractor. 52 per cent know someone who has been ripped off by a contractor.

“RenovationFind.com was created in response to this issue and to give homeowners a place to find trustworthy companies that do high-quality work and it is completely free for consumers to use,” said Riley.
