When you meet with any home improvement professional, you are conducting a job interview. You as the homeowner are trying to determine whether this prospective "employee" will actually deliver the products and services he or she claims.
Do not be intimidated by jargon or technical speak. Make sure that you understand what services are being offered and how they meet with the needs of your home.
You are the boss - you are making the hire, and you are paying the bills. Your home is a vitally important investment; you need to make sure it is in the best hands available.
When it comes to making a purchase of siding, here are some questions or topics you should cover with any vendors you meet.
How long have you been business? The longer a company has operated is not always an indication of their quality, but it is a key detail you need to know. You do not want to be the first person someone has tried to fit with new siding.
Do you have references? You obviously want to receive input from others who have hired your siding expert. If you can, call or email them about how the installers handled the work.
Are you insured? You must have the confidence that you are working with real professionals who will fully cover any damages that occur. Also be sure to check with your own insurance providers regarding such work.
What guarantees do you offer? Make sure you know the manufacture's product guarantees as well as the installer's standards of post-work guarantees, just in case.
How long will the project last? You need to have a clean expression of when the work will start and when it will finish. Be up front with your installers about your own time schedules and expectations.
What about payment? Do not assume that you will be required to pay when the work is finished. Some installers may want a portion - maybe as much as half - of the projected costs paid in advance of any work beginning.
