10 Things You Should Consider When Choosing a Siding Contractor

1) Ask around about their experience in the industry-you don't want someone whose only job was installing vinyl siding on one house last year.

2) Get at least three quotes from contractors in order to get an idea of what each company charges. Also make sure they are providing the materials, not just coming up with an estimate.

3) Be 100% clear about costs-if you don't know what something will cost, ask. You'll also want to ensure that there is no extra work after your contract is signed; this can cause further issues in the future if it's not included.

4) Ask about the company's experience with your type of siding, as well as their experience working with other projects on your home. This can be a status symbol for any reputable contractor-it shows that they have knowledge beyond what is necessary for the average home owner. You want to feel confident in their abilities! 

5) Choose someone who has a license, proper insurance and is bonded. It's also a good idea to check with your local area for more information on their reputation before signing any contracts.

6) Verify that the contractor you choose provides a warranty on all of their work-it should be a minimum of one year! This way you know the company will be around if anything goes wrong.

7) A good contractor should be able to answer any and all questions you may have about your project. Ensure that they provide references from past clients, as well as any other information that will help put you at ease before hiring them.

8) Request that a representative of the company come to your home and give you a tour of their facilities. You should also get an estimate on how long the project will take them to complete, not just some average guess.

9) If possible, make sure they use high-quality materials for installation-this way you know everything is being done properly. You can always request more information from the contractor about their materials if you have any concerns.

10)  Finally, take the time to go over any contract that is sent or given to you. Make sure all quotes are included in the final price, as well as how much your deposit will be. If you have any questions about what something means-do not hesitate to ask! A good company will welcome these kinds of inquiries and provide an answer immediately.
