Contractor for Kitchen Remodel: What Should Be in the Contract?

[yourdreamremodeling]

I'm about to hire a contractor for kitchen remodel, and I want to make sure I don't miss anything important in the agreement.

What should a proper contract include? Timeline, materials, payment schedule—anything else I should pay close attention to? I want to avoid misunderstandings later.

If you've been through this process, what would you double-check before signing?
