Q: What's all that "alphabet soup" after my contractor's name, and how important are those acronyms in selecting a builder for my project?

A: Increasingly, builders and contractors are earning and promoting various professional designations that signify their commitment to solid business practices and construction methods. Gaining such certification is arduous but worthwhile, and helps ensure that the contractor is well-versed in all aspects of the job. Even so, consider conducting some research on the letters that follow a contractor's name and ask questions about what they mean and how they are earned to gain a solid understanding of their value.
