Here are some fundamental guidelines to consider as you compare and contrast quotes from various providers.
Some companies may have measured your site differently or interpreted your wants differently.
This way you can be sure that you are comparing “apples to apples.” Is one contractor skipping a step or is another recommending a different service?
A good contractor will be able to explain their quote and reasons for the recommended scope of work.
Many small, one-person companies and so-called fly-by-night companies carry no insurance other than automotive. If they damage your property or get injured on your property, you can be held liable!
Good contractors will have positive customer testimonials and will be able to provide references for you to look at.
If a contractor isn’t willing to take the time to discuss your quote with you over the phone or meet with you in person to walk over the job site, what will happen when they actually begin work?
If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
