Wouldn’t it be great to eliminate the guesswork and have absolute confidence in your contractor’s ability to deliver? That’s why asking the right questions before starting your siding project is crucial. Here are 10 questions you can ask your prospective siding contractor before you sign the contract tapping them for their services.
A licensed contractor verifies that they are within their legal parameters to provide home improvement services. A bonded contractor is just as important, providing critical protection against potential losses you may incur, such as through a breach of contract or non-completion of work. Sufficient insurance coverage helps shield you from being held liable in case of property damage or occupational injury while the pros are working on your home.
Consider reaching out to previous homeowners or businesses the contractor has served before. They will provide sincere feedback about the contractor’s work quality, professionalism and reliability.
A contractor with numerous years of experience is likely to have a vast set of skills and a better understanding of the intricacies that are part and parcel of the profession.
Many siding materials are available today, from vinyl to fiber cement, metal to wood, requiring specific expertise. Make sure your contractor is proficient in handling the siding material of your choice.
Communication can be the decisive factor between the success and failure of a project. Establishing a precise method and frequency of communication from the get-go will ensure you remain in the loop about the project’s progression.
While delays are often unfortunate in construction work, having an estimated timeline is vital for planning and expectations management. This will also allow you to prepare contingency plans if required.
Learn about your financial obligations with the contractor you’ll be hiring for your siding project. Find out how much the down payment will be, as well as the progress payments and the final payment.
Though we often wish for projects to run smoothly, the reality is that unexpected issues can happen. Understanding the contractor’s approach to problem solving will assure you of their ability to navigate issues effectively.
Being aware of the warranty coverage is critical. This includes understanding what the warranty covers, how long it lasts and what circumstances it applies.
Cleanup is just as integral to a project as the execution of the work itself. A responsible contractor will ensure your property is left clean and construction debris-free after completion.
