A simple search on the internet would probably give you a list of siding contractors to contact for your project. You’re bound to find that many of these companies have a good reputation. However, it doesn’t hurt to take precautions and be wary of those who may be up to no good. So, it’s important to look out for the following red flags.
No Portfolio
Established siding contractors would be happy to show you photos of their previous projects and give you references or testimonials from past clients. These kinds of proof are important to check because they can offer a peek into the quality of work and service the contractor provides.
Aggressive Sales Tactics
If the contractor is pushing you to make a decision right then and there, you should consider this as a sign that they’re only concerned about closing the sale. A reputable contractor would willingly explain to you the details of your siding installation project and lay down the pros and cons of your options. They will give you all the time you need to ensure you’re making a well-informed decision.
Excessive Upfront Payment
Businesses aren’t supposed to ask for too much money as initial payment. In fact, if they are an established company, they wouldn’t need money upfront to begin working on your project. Moreover, be extra careful when they accept cash payments only. This could be an indication that they’re avoiding a paper trail.
