Don’t Get Work Done You Didn’t Seek Out
Scammers will use manipulative sales tactics with the hopes that homeowners will invite them inside to discuss great deals. They can be tremendously annoying—they won’t go away until they, the homeowners, agree to sign something and hand over a deposit. Politely decline those who offer something you didn’t seek out in the first place, especially if they visit your home unsolicited.
Do Thorough Research
When pursuing replacement windows for your home, it is not enough that you obtain recommendations from friends, family members or colleagues. Take advantage of the internet by visiting sites such as the Better Business Bureau and Yelp. Utilize Google and type in the search box the name of the local contractor you encountered. Check for reviews, as well. These help determine the reputable pros from the non-reputable ones.
Demand a Contract
The contract is an important piece of protection for any consumer. Regardless of the amount involved in completing the job, you must get the project written on paper. Have everything listed in it, including the agreed-upon cost, the necessary permits to be pulled, the materials to be purchased, and the project’s timeline. Read it carefully, taking note of any fine print that may put you at a disadvantage.
