Choosing a Contractor
We recommend when choosing a contractor for any type of home upgrades, that you get a minimum of 3 estimates.
​
Once you have obtained those, if you like a particular company, but they were a little high in price, don't be shy about seeing if they could re-evaluate their bid. Remember, in todays world, you honestly get what you pay for. The higher bids, sometimes include more or are completed as the manufacture intended. Not all companies follow the same protocol which can lead to pricey repairs in a short time, and can leave you working with a new company to fix what the other company did.
