Siding replacement is essential in maintaining adequate protection for your home. However, it can be challenging, especially if it’s your first time planning such a project and hiring a siding contractor. Fortunately, you can enjoy a smoother process if you choose the right team for your siding project.
In this post, Window World of Boston lists five questions to ask a siding contractor before hiring them.
How long have you been in business?
Experience is a good indicator of a siding contractor’s competence, and being in business for several years means that the company has a good reputation within the local community. After all, if customers didn’t find them reliable and trustworthy, the business wouldn’t last very long.
To find out if a contractor has years of industry experience, you can check their website and reviews online. You can also ask for a business card and verify licenses, certifications and other qualifications that they claim to have.
Do you have formally-trained installers?
Learn more about their training. Professionally-trained installers can ensure that your siding complies with local building codes and is installed using the manufacturer-recommended installation method.
Does your estimate include a breakdown of costs?
When asking for an estimate, make sure the siding manufacturers and installers specify the expenses, including labor, materials, applicable permits and waste disposal. This will enable you to prepare enough money ahead of time.
How long will it take to finish the project?
Keep in mind that your potential contractor should efficiently handle your project from start to finish. They should provide a timeline and a target date of completion.
Can you tell me more about your product and labor warranties?
Inquire about the warranties that’ll come with the new siding. Carefully read the terms and conditions and don’t hesitate to ask for clarification if needed.
