Here are some tips on finding the right contractor for your project from our friends at Belmontez Construction. Always, always, always work with a licensed & insured General Contractor. Having a licensed contractor benefits both the client & the General Contractor. A licensed contractor offers liability insurance to protect the client & the project. Now don’t get us wrong, just because a contractor has a license & insurance does not necessarily mean they are the right fit for you.
You need to TRUST your contractor and have open communication to ensure all your questions are being answered to your expectations. Don’t forget about the office staff also. The office staff are also key players & work behind the scenes to ensure the project runs smoothly, varying from the coordinating of the project, proper accounting & supervision.
What to Ask When Finding the Right Contractor for Your Project
- State license number… verify the license is active & in good standing with no outstanding or open claims
- Ask how long in business
- A Certificate of Insurance
- List of references
- Guarantee of work
Those are some key items to keep you safe!

(1) Rent Deferment
This is when a landlord allows tenant to skip paying an entire or partial amount of the rent due. Your landlord may ask for the following:
• Updated financials: P & L, Balance Sheet, etc
• Something showing financial impact from COVID-19
• Explanation letter of what will happen if the deferment does not take place
(2) Renegotiation (Blend-and-Extend)
When a landlord lowers your monthly rent by you signing a longer lease and amortizing the rent difference over the new term of the lease
(3) Substitution of Premises
When a landlord allows you to move to a different space in their portfolio that is smaller or lower priced than the current one you are occupying
(4) Relocation
If you are on a month-to-month lease or your landlord will allow you to break your lease early, you can relocate to a more affordable property
(5) Sublease
If you have excess space, you can hire a broker like myself to find you a subtenant to rent a portion of your space. This helps you generate more income and lower your rental expense. We can also help you sublease your entire space.
