Home Improvement Contractor Search: The Checklist
According to a recent survey commissioned by Angie’s List, 50% of homeowners who had recently hired a contractor for their home improvement needs were not happy with the company or had problems during the project. Furthermore, 30% of the homeowners either wanted to or did actually fire the contractors they hired. The most common complaints were contractors not showing up on time, leaving messes behind, and not finishing the job on time or on budget.
Here at Premier Windows we understand that choosing a dependable and honest contractor is not an easy process. I suggest that you follow these steps in your initial search that may give you peace of mind. If you are considering a home improvement company, it would be in your best interest to:
- Check out their website. Are there testimonials or reviews on their website and if so, are they recent, and do they seem to be genuine?
- Search the Better Business Bureau for any reviews or infractions connected to the contractor. This agency is a great source of information especially concerning the integrity of local businesses.
- Talk to your neighbors and friends. Word of mouth is an invaluable source of information relating to a contractor’s history and job performance. Hearing it from the horse’s mouth is probably the best method of determining who and who is not on your list of potential contractors.
- A Google search on a potential contractor may reveal a lot about the company such as links to customer reviews and ratings, and other important information.
- Check that the contractor is licensed and/or bonded before you research the company any further. Many states, but not all, require contractors to be licensed and/or bonded. Check with your local building department or consumer protection agency to find out about licensing requirements in your area. Licensing can range from simple registration to a detailed qualification process. If your state or locality has licensing laws, make sure the contractor’s license is current.
If you follow these simple steps, your home improvement project should be a joy and not a hassle. Make sure the company you choose has the proper insurance papers. Always get references and read testimonials. Premier Windows always carries all of these to our free in-home consultations.
