Concrete Construction Contractors
Making your residential or commercial property look its absolute best is made easier when you’re working with the right contractor. You need a concrete contractor that has the experience, dedication, and resources to bring out the best in your property. If you’re thinking about putting down a new driveway, parking lot, road or patio, read our list. This is what you should look for when hiring a contractor:
Project Type
You don’t want to go to a concrete contractor who doesn’t have experience with your specific project. You want to make sure that the contractor you choose has the proper knowledge to complete the job efficiently. Contractors should be aware of the codes, regulations and potential problems inherent in your job. As you’re comparing contractors, check to see that each is using similar plans and building materials.
Trust Your Instincts
You should be 100 percent comfortable with whichever concrete contractor you choose. Anyone who makes you feel pressured or uncomfortable is one you likely shouldn’t do business with. Spend enough time with the contractor until you’re able to form a solid opinion about her or his personality and work style. Remember, this person is going to be working on your home or business for what might be several weeks or longer; choose carefully.
Licensed, Insured and Bonded
Any contractor you’re considering should be fully licensed, bonded and insured to work in your specific geographic area. All three are just as much for the contractor’s benefit as they are yours. Proper licensing shows a level of professionalism and care you want in whichever contractor you choose.
Check References
Ask for references and testimonials from past customers before deciding on a concrete contractor. Most of them will be more than happy to provide you with names and numbers so you can get a better glimpse into how they work and the results you can expect for your home or business. If you like, you can find company reviews on sites like Yelp, Facebook, and Yellow Pages.
Make Sure You Understand the Warranty and Contract
You should also request a sample contract and warranty to better understand the language and terms you can expect for your own project. Contractors should be able to easily explain any terms or conditions that aren’t clear to you in a manner you easily understand. What’s more is any estimate you receive should be all-inclusive so you don’t have to worry about any surprise costs when your project is complete and it’s time to pay.
Know Who’s Going to Work on Your Project
In addition to asking if the work will be contracted out, ask about the amount of experience and level of expertise of the team that will handle your concrete service. Know there’s a chance you might need plumbers and electricians working on your project too, which means you’ll want to know about their professional backgrounds.
While the above might seem like a lot of work, it’s sure to pay off in the long run when you have a high-quality project, which lasts for years to come.
