        "text": "When choosing a general contractor for your kitchen expansion, prioritize experience with similar projects and a strong portfolio. Verify their licensing, insurance, and bond. Check references from past clients and read online reviews. Evaluate their communication style, as clear and consistent communication is crucial during a large-scale project. Obtain detailed, written estimates and a clear contract outlining the scope, timeline, and payment schedule. Look for a contractor familiar with local Bay Area permitting processes.",
