Questions You Should Ask A Plumber Before Hiring One

 

There are many questions and answers that you need established before you hire a plumber to come into your home. This is not an easy task but this information should be helpful to guide you to get a great experience that you definitely deserve.

While doing your research a good thing to do is to check out the businesses history. You can go online and do a quick search with the Better Business Bureau to see how the company is rated. You can also see if they have received any complaints from other customers in the past. They do need to be licensed and insured to legally fix your problems, they can verify that to you instantly. Your city will also require a permit to be pulled for certain jobs done in your home.

You are going to want to find out how much this job is going to actually cost you, make sure that there are no hidden fees. Asking for a quote or estimate in writing will keep you safe, never accept a verbal agreement. If you receive a low estimate you may be getting cheap materials to replace your old ones. The more expensive materials typically last longer and usually come with a warranty. Check to see if the company offers warranties on the work that they will do before signing yourself into any binding agreements.

A timeline of completion is always a must for contractors because sometimes they have taken on too many jobs at one time. You will want to ensure that you have a specific start date and end date.

Most companies have a lot of employees and legitimate companies will have each and every employee be drug screened and get their backgrounds checked. This should be looked at importantly because they are going to be entering your home.
