At some point-in-time a
Trained Professional is going to need to come
into your home and see first hand what can be
done to correct any problems you may have
with windows, siding exteriors, insulation,
sunrooms, heat/air, etc.
This person should be qualified,
honest, informative and
above all have a desire
to truly help you solve your problem
or project.
This Representative should
be from an organization that has proper
credentials, such as:
1. Better Business Bureau
Affiliation (in good
standing).
Of course that alone is not a major factor
but it can say a lot about their desire to do
business in an "up front" and
progressive manner.
2. Past history of satisfied
customers who can attest
to the expertise, integrity and ability to
perform. If the person or company is brand
new and they don't have these credentials
that does not mean that you have to
"write" them off but you do become
an experiment, good or bad, you're taking a
little gamble.
3. Look for A Company/Person who can show
that if he becomes disabled, sick, hurt or
deceased, there is a company or organization
who can and will fulfill
all promised obligations,
such as warranties, etc. I have known of
situations where the Contractor/Worker died
while the job was in progress! If you don't
think that is a BUMMER! The poor guy is dead
and there is nobody left to finish your job.
4. This person or company should provide insurance
for all areas of liability
such as, accidents or damage to your
home/property.
5. Does the person or company have an
internet presence? Can they be reached via
Internet (E-Mail).
Have they bothered to develop a web site?
Many "short-timers" don't bother to
spend the money or time to develop and
maintain a web site or internet presence
because they don't intend to be around that
long anyway.
Remember, the internet is
becoming as needed as the phone was a few
years back. When you maintain your
credentials on a web site they are there for
the world to see! Of
course that is NOT to say that every company
or person who has a web site is
"OKAY" but it does say a lot about
their thoughts about being around for a while
and growing with our business society. They
ARE able to access information and find
what's best in this ever-changing world.
IMPORTANT! Beware of the person who proudly
states: "I can't turn the durn thing
on." (The
Computer)
Much of the needed information and techniques
used by today's professional is attainable by
way of internet! If the guy who is standing
in your living room is telling you he is
computer illiterate ~ what else is he
uninformed about? We are living in the
"Information Era".
Use your own judgment, your
"gut" feeling !
Is the person standing in your living room
the kind of person you want to trust?
If the answer is
"YES" then go ahead and check him
out. If the answer is "NO" don't go
any further.
I hope this has helped you
(at least) a little bit!
If we can be of help please
feel free to contact me.
Your Friend,
Darryl
