1.The contractors reputation- check out their references on Angie's List, Better Business Bureau, or other consumer agencies. Ask them to provide photos of recent work they have done and to provide names of past customers that would be willing to talk with you. Review their website for current information about their business. We have outstanding ratings with the Better Business Bureau and Angie's List. We keep our website up to date and you can find us on Facebook.
2. Ask the contractor how long they have been in business? Find out any trade associations that they are affiliated with like The National Tile Association. Find out if they follow trade associations recommended standards and guidelines. Is the contractor insured and bonded? Who are the contractors employees and what makes their work superior? Good project management is a key factor in providing high quality. B & R Hardwood and Tile has been working with quality providers for over 12 years. We have wonderful project management ,highly skilled laborers and certified tile setters.
3. Go with you instincts about their character. Are they clean, punctual, and do they communicate well? Are they in a hurry? Are they listening to what you want? Do they provide creative solutions and ideas? At B & R we listen to what our customers want keeping in mind their overall budget.
4. Does the contractor provide a detailed bid of what is included in the project? Can you tell what is included in the price and what is excluded? Are they willing to help you with tile selection? B & R works with the customer during the selection process to ensure all supplies are ordered, to help with design ideas, to assist with transition areas that the average consumer does not think of, and to avoid costly trip charges for forgotten items.
5. Does the contractor finish jobs in a timely fashion? Does the contractor run multiple jobs at the same time and if so, does the contractor have enough resources to complete quality work. B & R Hardwood and Tile prides itself on staying on schedule and managing projects to the smallest level of detail.
6. What kind of materials does the contractor use. Professional grade products are higher in quality and last longer than products purchased from local hardware stores. We use only the highest quality products for our customers.
7. Beware of "low cost " providers. Quality workmanship has fixed costs associated with it and low cost providers often have to cut quality to be the low cost provider. We will never be the lowest cost provider. We provide fair pricing for the customer and provide fair compensation to the individuals working on our projects.
