Contractor for Kitchen Remodel: What Should You Ask Before Hiring?

[yourdreamremodeling]

I'm about to hire a contractor for kitchen remodel(https://yourdreamremodeling.com/ ), but I want to make sure I ask the right questions before signing anything.

What should I confirm upfront—timeline, materials, payment schedule? Did anyone here face issues because something wasn't clearly discussed in the beginning?

I want to avoid common mistakes and make sure everything goes smoothly. Any suggestions from your experience would mean a lot.
