Finding Reliable Contractors.
August 27, 2020
The world of contracting can often feel like the ‘wild west’ with all of these cowboy contractors flooding the market. The unfortunate truth is that far too often homeowners and property owners find themselves scammed and overcharged for poor quality work. That is why it is crucial to find reliable contractors with a great track record to prove it. Here are a few tips and trick to keep in mind when searching for your next contractor:
-Carefully Read Reviews.
The internet makes it easy to ‘flush’ out bad contractors for your drainage problems. These days it is easy for other clients to leave reviews on businesses across mediums such as Google, Yelp, and even social media. These reviews can give you an indication as to whether or not the contractors services were ‘up to snuff’ when it comes to their value and overall quality.
It’s important to always reference reviews, and read them thoroughly. Look into the words of praise, and words of critique that past clients have had. Always go with a contractor that has a great reputation with their former clients. Remember, the best review sources--such as Checkatrade and Google--always verify their real and reputable reviewers to ensure that there is no tampering with the truth.
- Avoid Vague Pricing.
Many contractors will try to sneak hidden fees and services into the overall bill of a job. This can be extremely costly for the home or property owner. Unfortunately, it can be rather difficult to tell when a contractor will end up overcharging for services provided. However, there are ways to avoid this altogether.
You should never work with a contractor that cannot offer you a firm quote from the beginning. For example, our team at Flow Sure Drains always offers fixed pricing for all of our jobs. This means that the quote you are given is the price you will pay when all is said and done. No hidden surprises! You should always aim to avoid any contractor that cannot 100% guarantee their price from the very beginning.
- Never Hire Unlicensed Professionals.
Despite what you might initially think, there are a whole host of reasons why hiring a licensed professional is crucial. There are far too many ‘cowboy’ contractors out there who will try to entice homeowners with lower prices, and faster worktimes. However, these unlicensed professionals are often of a far lower quality, and will produce less than satisfactory results.
In addition to getting what you pay for, licensed professionals are also fully insured. This means that any damages or problems that may occur--however unlikely--are fully covered by our insurances. If you hire an unlicensed professional off the street, you could end up with stolen goods, damaged drainage, or even massive scale damage like flooding; and none of it will be financially covered.
Our team at Flow Sure Drains is fully insured to operate as professional drainage experts in Bristol, UK.
