Countertops
What to look for when
selecting an ethical Countertop Company:
Ask the Company to show you a
copy of their insurance cover letter. Check for a permanent place of
business, telephone number and a business
license. Don't hesitate to ask for proof
of general liability and workers' compensation
insurance. If they use subcontractors ask them
to prove their insurance. An ethical company should have
no problem providing you with a list of
references. Ask them to explain their
complaint process, if you have a concern or a
complaint. Insist on a written proposal on
company letterhead. Before you sign a contract
make sure you understand all the terms of the
agreement and make sure it provides detailed
information on the work to be performed. Ask the Company to explain their
warranty thoroughly. Make sure the Company is
comfortable with you getting more than one
estimate. Ask the Company if they are
members of any professional trade organizations. Ask the Company to explain
thoroughly all their different product lines.
Make sure the product you select meets your
needs as to price, look, durability and care.
Verify what is being installed is exactly what
you are paying for. Make sure they utilize qualified
installers. Installation is very important.
The time install is just as important as the
product. If the company uses
subcontractors, call the subcontractors and make
sure the company pays them in a timely manner.
Remember by law, the subcontractors can place a
lien on your house if the contractor fails to
pay them. Have them thoroughly explain the
care process required to maintain the
countertops. Make sure it's professionally
installed to manufacturer's specifications. Look for a company that does
criminal background and does drug testing on all
their employees.
What to avoid when
selecting a business in this industry:
Companies that will not show you
proof of their insurance. Companies that do not appear to
be professional Companies that play price games. Companies that will not provide
you a detailed estimate. Companies that ask for excessive
deposits. Companies that apply pressure to
purchase today. Companies that will not let you
call past customers. You get what you pay for. If you
want qualified and licensed installers, you may
need to pay a little more, but in most cases its
money well spent. Companies that make guarantees
that appear too good to be true. Companies
that advertise without a business address. |
