How Do You Decide Which Tradesperson To Pick When Getting Quotes Off Tradespeople?

The ultimate decision is yours about which (if any - you're not obliged to accept any of the quotes you receive) quote to accept from tradesmen / tradespeople giving you quotes on your jobs. It is always wise to ask tradesmen about home improvement and construction jobs that they've done before as a tradesperson. You should also find out more information about their home improvement business and tradesmens trades qualifications / construction work experience they have which might be relevant to your home improvement job.

Keep a note of what is included in the tradesmans quote and what is not so that you can avoid any confusion further down the line about the job and any additional costs that might build up. Always ask tradesmen for a written quote for your project. This way both you and your tradesman have something to refer back to in case of query (plus - worst case scenario - if you take a tradesman to court you need something to prove that the services provided did not amount to the services quotes for.

It is wise to ask for references from tradesmen / tradespeople for jobs that they've done before but no good if you do not take up these tradesmens references. You will find that good tradespeople have many happy customers overflowing with praise for their services, more than happy to have a quick chat with you about the work that the tradesperson carried out for them. We all love to recommend good services and recommending tradespeople is certainly no exception. Any tradesman without customers happy to recommend them are either very new to construction work and home improvement projects or might have something to hide (ie - no customers willing to give them references for past work).

You might also want to look at tradesmens portfolios of previous jobs they've done. Good tradespeople often build up and carry a portfolio of jobs and work that they've done for other customers. Ask the tradesmen who want to quote on your jobs whether they have a porfolio or photographs of any recent work that they've done for other people.

One final word of advice about getting quotes off tradesmen - get three quotes. Consumer programmes always advise that the optimum number of quotes is three when having home improvement jobs done by tradesmen. Whilst it may be easier to just take the first quote that comes in it is always wiser to wait until you have three quotes so that you get a good comparison.
