Hiring a Competent Contractor
Q. Why should you hire Southern Home Service to remodel your home?
A. Your project is important to us… we believe that your project should be treated as if we were working on our own home.
Q. Will it be built right?
A. Our 20-year installation warranty guarantees that it will be done right.
Q. Will there be unpleasant surprises?
A. Construction work generally means uncovering something unanticipated. We will inform you of any changes as soon as we become aware of them.
Q. How do you find a competent contractor?
A. A competent contractor will look you in the eye, stand behind the work, be licensed and insured, give you a fair price so you can count on them being in business next year and follow through with what was promised.
Q. Is there any value in a cheap job?
A. There are a lot of companies struggling to survive. As a result, they are low-balling the price of jobs just to get the cash-flow. This has been consistent in Florida for years. Unfortunately, many homeowners suffer the consequences of hiring a company who won’t be around if there is a problem. Often times the cheaper price also comes from an unlicensed contractor who isn’t following the rules and paying the appropriate fees to conduct business. It is illegal for a person to hire an unlicensed contractor in the state of Florida.
Q. Who can you trust?
A. You can trust a contractor who can prove that they have met the requirements to do business in the state of Florida. They should also be able to supply many references as to the quality of their work.
Q. How will you choose your contractor?
A. Hopefully, you will make a decision as to who to hire based on the principles listed above. You won’t gain anything by hiring someone who is taking shortcuts and not making enough of a profit to enable them to stay in business – maybe just long enough to finish your job – maybe not long enough and you risk losing your deposit.
