Before a major renovation, ask: Is the contractor registered in New Jersey? How long have they been in business? What is included in the scope? How will we communicate during the project? Clear answers up front prevent surprises later.
Questions about the contractor
Ask whether the contractor is a registered NJ Home Improvement Contractor and ask for the number. Ask how long they have served the area and what kinds of projects they focus on.
Sampson Development Group, LLC is registered (NJ HIC Reg. #13VH06610300), has served New Jersey since 2011, and focuses on major home projects: basements, additions, ADUs, and full-home renovations.
Questions about the project
Ask what the scope includes, how decisions during the project will be handled, and how you will stay informed. A clear scope and clear communication matter more than any single line item.

Frequently asked questions
What is the most important question to ask?
Ask for the contractor's NJ registration number and how long they have been in business. Both are easy to answer for an established contractor.
Should I get the scope in writing?
Yes. A written agreement protects both sides — our own terms note that a project begins only after both parties accept a written agreement.
