Choosing the right siding contractor is crucial for your project’s success. From the overall scope of the job to the results of the project, contractors take on immense responsibility. In order to make an informed decision when hiring a siding professional, you should know what information and qualities to look for.
Read on as Genesis Roofing enumerates four things you need to know about your siding contractor.
1. Location and Years in Business
When looking for a contractor, it’s best to look for a company that has a physical office in your area. This way, it will be easier for you to contact them in case something wrong happens with your new siding. Moreover, their years in the business allows you to know how experienced they are in the field.
2. Work History and Customer Reviews
Check your contractor’s testimonials and previously completed work. Even without asking, many professional contractors will provide this on their websites. They also carry with them a portfolio as part of their sales presentation with clients. If that information is not made available to you, be sure to ask the contractor.
3. Warranties and Repairs
Typically, siding companies install products that have a warranty provided to you upon completion of the job. Such warranties usually range from 10 to 50 years, but they have limitations. On the other hand, service or workmanship guarantees range between six months and 10 years. This provides you ample time to check if the siding was installed incorrectly.
4. Insurance
Ask your siding contractor if they have liability insurance and workers’ compensation insurance. This is to ensure that if some unfortunate incident occurs with the company’s crew on your property, their insurance will cover the expenses. Otherwise, all costs would fall on you since the accident occurred on your property.
