Plumbing 

What to look for when selecting an ethical Plumbing Company:

  1. Trust, you can tell a lot about any contractor by how they deal with you before you sign a contract. Make sure you feel comfortable with the person in front of you before making a decision.

  2. A good contractor should educate you enough to make a wise decision.

  3. Look for a company that listens to you and thoroughly answers your questions.

  4. Check for a permanent place of business, telephone number and a business license.

  5. Check and write down their state contractor's license number. Check with the state and make sure the number matches the Contractor's name and address and that it's valid.

  6. Don't hesitate to ask the contractor for proof of all the insurance they carry.

  7. Make sure they show you proof of general liability and workers' compensation insurance to protect your property and if someone is injured while working on your property.

  8. Look for a company that will provide you references if asked.

  9. Look for a Company that does not ask for cash or to pay up front. Ask if they take credit cards even if you don't plan on using one.

  10. Ask how they handle problems and complaints should one arise.

  11. Look for a company that has uniformed technicians and decent logos on their vehicles.

  12. Look for a company that will thoroughly explain their warranty on labor and materials.

Questions to ask when selecting a business in this industry:

  1. Can the Company prove their insurance?

  2. Is the company licensed by the state? Have them show you the license. Make a copy of it.

  3. How long has the company been in business under that name?

  4. How long will it take to complete the job?

  5. Does the company provide workers' compensation insurance on its employees? Ask if they use subcontractors? If they do, make sure they are insured.

  6. Does the company carry general liability insurance?

  7. Does the company do a criminal background check on all employees before hiring them and continue with random tests throughout their employment.

What to avoid when selecting a business in this industry:

  1. Avoid a company that will not provide references for their work.

  2. Always avoid a company that asks you to pull your own permit, even if it will save you money in doing so. License and proof of insurance is required to pull permits. If they are asking you to do it yourself, it is a tell tale sign they are not a legitimate company.

  3. Avoid a company that does not take care of your house when they are in it.

  4. Avoid a company that does not give you a detailed written contract, including warranty of parts and labor.

  5. You get what you pay for. If you want qualified and licensed contractors, you may need to pay a little more, but in most cases it is money well spent.
