Who are your main suppliers?
Contractors are networked with their suppliers. You can tap into information on your contractor’s reliability and level of quality by asking where they get their supplies.
How long have you been doing business in this town?
A contractor who’s been plying his trade locally for five or 10 years has an established network of subcontractors and suppliers in the area and a local reputation to uphold. That makes them a safer bet than a contractor who’s either new to the business or planning to commute to your job from 100 miles away.
How Long Will the Job Take?
Like any home remodeling project, you always need an agreed upon time frame. Given all the permits contractors have to pull and city guidelines they have to check, fencing projects can get delayed. Once all the precautionary steps have been met, you and your contractor need to have an agreed upon time frame.
Can You Show me Examples of Similar Projects?
This question should be asked before any renovation project. If you are dealing with a professional contractor, you want to make sure they have completed similar projects before. It goes without saying, but you also want to make sure the end product meets your home remodeling standards. Viewing pictures of past projects can ensure both.
