Choosing the wrong Siding contractor can quickly turn into a nightmare of unmet schedules, over budget expenses, poor workmanship and lots of unpleasant arguments. Spending a little more time and paying a little more attention in choosing your contractor can avoid all this.
You should ask any Siding contractor the following and don't be shy;
1. If your state requires a state license, ask the Siding contractor for their state contractors' number. Contact the relevant state authority and check the status of your contractor.
2. Ask your Siding contractor for references. Make sure you get more than one reference and call them. Ask how the Siding contractor performed. Ask how the Siding contractor dealt with problems and if the job was finished on schedule. Finally, ask how their workmanship and quality of work was. You will find out quickly how that reference feels about that particular Siding contractor.
3. Ask your Siding contractor if they have any experience with similar jobs and get a list so that you can see them.
4. You should visit the Siding contractors' place of business. Be observant; ensure the office is organized and tidy. You should also take note of staff behavior. Are they kind, courteous and helpful? These values are generally passed down the chain of command starting with the owner.
5. Demand that the Siding contractor item list your quote. You need to see what you are paying for. If a Siding contractor does not want to do this for you, then he probably is not the Siding contractor you need. Insist on a complete list of all materials and fixtures. This list should be signed by the Siding contractor and you to be made a part of the contract. This eliminates any miscommunication about what the two of you expect the end result to be.
6. Ensure the Siding contractor carries workers compensation for all employees that will be on the job. In some cases, if the Siding contractor doesn't have any employees and subcontracts them, there will be no workers compensation coverage. However, the Siding contractor should provide you with a proof of liability insurance.
7. Never pay a Siding contractor in full up front. Ensure that both you and the contractor agree upon a reasonable pay schedule.
For example, half up front and the remainder upon satisfactory completion.
