When hiring a contractor to work on your home, you should always take the time to vet each candidate. Not all contractors are equally skilled, experienced, or responsible, so make sure to research each of your options to make sure you are choosing someone reliable.
Our team at Patriot Spray Foam Insulation has completed countless insulation projects for our clients, and we know what it takes to deliver great results. We have put together this article to go over some red flags you should watch out for when choosing an insulation contractor.
- Reluctance to Put it in Writing – One red flag you should look out for when choosing an insulation contractor (or any contractor) is a reluctance to put anything in writing. Do not rely on verbal agreements. Get a full quote and contract in writing so you can refer to it later.
- Use of High-Pressure Sales Tactics – You should also be wary of any insulation contractor who tries to pressure you to sign an agreement immediately, without giving you time to think it over. Be especially suspicious if a contractor offers you a great deal with a close expiration date—this is a well-known sales tactic that is used to rope you into a deal without being able to read the fine print first.
- Lack of Communication – Lastly, we recommend that you avoid any insulation contractor who is hard to get ahold of, won’t answer your calls, or provides only vague answers to your questions. Reputable contractors work to communicate clearly and promptly with their clients to ensure everyone is on the same page.
