Additionally, Rico has shared a few tips for homeowners looking for the perfect contractor which includes doing your due diligence.

“If someone has a lot of good reviews, that's a huge plus,” Rico says via HGTV. “Ask for three references from the contractor you’re looking to hire, then give the references a call and get photos of the work the contractor did in their homes.”
