Hiring a contractor is a big decision. You’re trusting someone with your money, your home, and your peace of mind. At Red White and Blue Construction LLC, we believe you deserve straight answers before you start any project.

That’s why we created this list of 7 must-ask questions — and how we proudly answer each one.

1. Are You Licensed and Insured?

You should never work with a contractor who isn’t.

Our Answer: Yes — we are fully licensed and insured in the state of Pennsylvania. We carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance to protect your project and your property.

2. Do You Provide Written Estimates and Contracts?

Verbal quotes lead to hidden costs and headaches.

Our Answer: Absolutely. Every client receives a clear, written estimate outlining scope, cost, timeline, and materials — with no surprises.

3. Can I See Photos of Your Work?

A trustworthy contractor is proud of their results.

✅ Our Answer: Yes. You can view a wide range of our completed kitchen, bathroom, basement, and exterior projects — many completed right here in Wyoming, Wilkes-Barre, and Scranton.

4. What’s Your Timeline for Completion?

Delays happen — but planning prevents panic.

Our Answer: We give honest timelines based on workload and project scope. We stick to the schedule and keep you informed every step of the way.

5. Who Will Be On-Site During My Project?

You want to know who’s walking through your door.

Our Answer: You’ll always work with the owner, Mark Raynolds, or a trusted team member. We don’t subcontract out to strangers, and we treat your home like it’s our own.
