4 Tips on How to Select a Reputable Contractor

When a storm hits, your biggest concern should always be your safety. Once the weather subsides, you may notice that your home has sustained damage. It is important to do your due diligence and assess a contractor’s reputation before requesting an inspection from them. Not sure where to start? Here are 4 tips on how to select a reputable contractor.

Check the Better Business Bureau (BBB)

The BBB seeks to create an ethical marketplace where buyers and sellers can trust each other. By going to their website and searching for reputable contractors, like Ferguson Roofing, you can see if they are an accredited business or not. BBB also assigns ratings from A+ (highest) to F (lowest). We are proud to be a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ Rating.

Trust a Good Reference

Has your neighbor or family member recently had work done to their home? Check to see who they worked with and what kind of experience they had. Online references and reviews should be considered as well. See a bad review? Check to see how the company responds. Comparing other people’s experiences will give you a preview of what to expect.

Trust the Roofing & Siding Contractors Alliance (RSCA)

The RSCA is responsible for establishing and maintaining a high standard of business ethics and conduct among its members. As mentioned above, they can help you find a reputable contractor in your area through their website.

Experience Matters

If you need to hire a contractor, their level of experience matters. Avoid having to deal with rookie mistakes by hiring a company who is established in the industry. Most importantly, you want to make sure they will be around to back-up their warranty.
