With construction season coming up, it’s also a popular time for homeowners to be looking into foundation repair services for their home. If you haven’t found the right company yet, how do you choose? There are a couple important aspects to consider when doing your own research and in your initial inquiry to the business.
Estimates
A reliable company will offer free estimates so you can start to gather bids. You’ll just need to tell them some specific information like the foundation issue or size of the concrete installation job, and they can get you an accurate pricing overview. Then, you can start to compare all of the companies you’ve contacted so far. It’s important not to simply choose the cheapest option before thinking about some of the other items below.
Testimonials
Check their Google My Business, Facebook, and website to see what others have been saying about their company. If there are negative reviews, see if the company has reached out to try and resolve the matter. That says a lot about how they treat their customers.
Payment Plans
Foundation and concrete jobs are an investment into the home no matter your budget. Offering a couple different payment plans shows that the business wants their customers to still be able to get the repairs they need.
Permits
The company you’re working with should have the necessary qualifications and licenses to legally perform the work they’re doing. Additionally, they should also be insured in case there are any incidents on the job, so the homeowner will not be responsible. The workers should be certified in their specialty, and they should have experience in that industry.
Communication
In the initial conversation with a company, you should pay note to how timely they are in their replies. Whether you’re contacting them through their website, email, or phone, they should be getting back to you in a punctual manner.
Job Photos
Check the company’s website and social media to see if they have examples of their work. It always helps to see the final result with your own eyes.
