Advice On Finding Good Tradesmen
Always try to get three quotes from tradesmen for home improvement work.
Ask for written quotes from tradespeople.
Ask what guarantees the tradesperson gives on their work.
Get the tradesperson's address in case of query - A quote scribbled on paper is a bad sign.
Be patient and compare quotes
Try to be objective - most tradesmen will be keen to please when quoting especially in a competitive tradesperson's marketplace.
Be clear on what you want quotes on. Vague quote specifications can lead to disputes with tradesmen and misunderstandings over what was included in your quote and what wasn't.
Check whether tradesmen have reviews on past work. If they don't have any reviews, ask for references from past customers.
Ask if they have any examples of their work so that you can get an idea of the quality of workmanship.
See if they can get you trade discounts on materials for your home improvements.
